Life jackets, ski vests are all common names for PFD or personal flotation devices. As the name suggests, their job is to keep the wearer alive and afloat when they accidentally fall into the water or choose to participate in water sports such as skiing or wake surfing. Although the goal may be simple, the style, fit, and method of use of the life jacket will affect whether your PFD can accomplish the desired job. There are many types of PFD, so it’s important to know which type to use on the water, whether it’s in open, rough water or remote waters, or you’re just playing on the shore in a life jacket.
