How to Choose a Life Jacket
How to Choose a Life Jacket
Find the Right Size
- Kids' Sizing: Kids' life jackets are categorized by weight (e.g., infant, child, youth) rather than age or clothing size.
- Adult Sizing: Adult life jackets are chosen based on chest circumference measurements in inches to ensure a proper fit.
- The Fit Test: Tighten straps from the bottom up. The vest is too large if it slides past your chin when pulled up at the shoulders.
Key Features to Consider
- Buoyancy Type: Foam vests offer reliable flotation for all activities, while low-profile inflatable vests use a CO2 cartridge for maximum mobility.
- Activity-Specific Designs: Fishing and kayaking vests feature open shoulders for easier casting or paddling, mesh panels for airflow, and front storage pockets.
- Safety Details: Kids' models include a top grab handle for quick rescue, while high-visibility colors and reflective tape improve detection on open water.
