Safety and Operations

Foam Class PFDs

Foam type PFDs are inherently buoyant and are used for:

• Adult, Youth, Child, and Infants

• Swimmers, poor swimmers, and non-swimmers

Inflatable Class PFDs

The inflatable PFD may be more comfortable to wear but may not be used by children under 16 years of

age. Each inflatable PFD must have an operational gas cylinder and the individual must be knowledgeable

in its use and the condition of the PFD. Inflatable PFDs may not satisfy the requirement to carry PFDs, as

established by Federal Regulations.

Hybrid Class PFDs

Hybrid PFDs are both foam filled and are inflatable.
