Life vests, also referred to as personal flotation devices (PFDs), are a very important piece of equipment when on the water. Not only is it a requirement by the United States Coast Guard to have an adequate amount of life vests available, but they are vital to save the lives of swimmers and boaters when necessary.

Life Vests save lives. The U.S. Coast Guard categorizes life vests into three types: * Type III vests, designed for boating in calm water where quick rescue is available. * Type II vests, designed for use where quick rescue is probable but are not suitable for extended use in extremely cold or rough water. * Type I vests, designed to support an unconscious person face up in rough and choppy waters where rescue may not come quickly.
