Choose the right Personal Flotation Device (PFD). This PSA provides information on recent changes to PFD design and PFD labels.
Choosing the right device for your activity will usually require a little thought and research. Consideration of your needs and the different characteristics of a design can be a balancing act. Sometimes a trade-off is necessary. The device that offers greater performance under more extreme conditions may seem 'safer' or 'better' but may be bulkier, uncomfortable or have features that impedes your activity. Sometimes your choice will lean towards the regular protection of a device that can be constantly worn. U.S. Coast Guard video by Coast Guard Boating Safety Division.
