Everyone wants to join the cool kids. Everyone! Well, guess what all the cool kids are wearing these days?
Forget pastel sundresses, retro 90s floods, and high-waist crop jackets. You want bold, bright and chest-hugging life-saving vests that let everybody know you're part of the in-crowd.
Besides making a fashion statement, #lifejackets help keep you alive. You can't be cool if you're drowning while yelling for help!
According to U.S. Coast Guard Recreational Boating Statistics a majority of waterways deaths (77%) were due to drowning and 84% of those were not wearing a life jacket. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Headquarters statistics show that for the last ten years most of the water-related fatalities that occurred at their lake and river projects were men (87%) age 18 and older (86%) and 87% were not wearing a life jacket.
