Related Expert Advice articles

Standard or inflatable personal flotation device (PFD)?

Standard: Low-maintenance, always buoyant, great for various sports, often with pockets. Can feel bulky, restrictive and hot while paddling.
Inflatable: Slimmer profile, comfortable, but must be inflated to work and requires more maintenance.
Hybrid: Balances features of both, but heftier price.

What conditions will you encounter?

Level 50: For competent swimmers and high-mobility activities (kayaking, paddle boarding), where quick rescue is expected.
Level 70: For calm, inland waters where fast rescue is likely.
Level 100: For rough or remote waters or offshore where rescue may lag.

Finding the right fit

Try on PFDs over paddling clothes for the best fit.
Mimic paddling motions.
Test with your seat to see if it's comfortable. Kayakers may prefer a shorter PFD.
If possible, test your PFD in a pool or shallow water; it shouldn't ride up while floating.
