The best PFD is the one that you wear.
When boating always wear your PFD
PFD Considerations
To obtain the best benefit from a PFD:
♦ Children, non and poor swimmers should wear a PFD at all times.
♦ Keep all PFDs in an accessible location.
♦ Ensure the PFD comfortably fits the individual, both in and out of the water.
♦ Practice using the PFD in the water. This will provide insight and confidence in its use.
♦ Teach all children how to put on and wear the PFD.
PFD Care:
♦
Do not store in plastic bags, locked in a compartment, or stowed beneath other gear.
♦ Do not store when wet. Allow to dry thoroughly. Do not use a radiator or heater to dry
♦ Store in a well-ventilated area.
♦ Keep PFDs away from sharp objects. Do not puncture.
♦ Inspect on a regular basis. Replace any damaged PFD. Ensure inflatable PFDs have no leaks.
