| The best Personal
Flotation Device (PFD) is the one you wear. That's why choosing the
PFD that best fits your favorite water sports activity is important.
Foam vests are great for active in-the-water adventures while
inflatable PFDs are quickly becoming commonplace in most other
marine activities. Manually inflating PFDs are a good choice for
people who are comfortable in the water and expect to be spending
some time in it, such as paddlers or river fishermen. If you don't
expect to end up in the water, but want the confidence of knowing
that your PFD will inflate automatically in seconds if the
unexpected happens, an automatic inflatable PFD is your best choice
. Our exclusive HIT? (Hydrostatic Inflator Technology) automatic
inflatable PFDs are perfect if you spend time in high humidity or
wet weather.
Manual inflatable PFDs inflate by
pulling the jerk tab that hangs from the PFD at waist-height whereas
automatic inflatable PFDs inflate when immersed in water (or by
manually pulling the jerk tab). All of our Inflatable PFDs provide
35 lb buoyancy when inflated and at least 3 1/4" of freeboard
(distance between the mouth and the surface of the water). Remember
to check your inflatable PFD regularly to ensure it is in good
working order and ready to be called into action when needed. |
