Standard or inflatable personal flotation device (PFD)?

Standard: Low-maintenance, always buoyant, great for various water sports, often with pockets. Can feel bulky, restrictive and hot while paddling.
Inflatable: Slimmer profile and comfortable, but must be inflated to work so not great for high-impact activities, kids under 16, nonswimmers or situations where you might end up injured or unconscious before you can inflate. Requires regular maintenance and replacement of carbon dioxide cartridge.
Hybrid: Balances features of both, with a heftier price tag.

What conditions will you encounter?

Level 50: For competent swimmers and activities like kayaking and paddle boarding, where mobility is needed but 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 take a while.

Finding the right fit

Try on PFDs with your paddling clothes to get the best fit.
Mimic paddling motions to ensure there’s no chafing.
Make sure it works with your seat without riding up or feeling uncomfortable. Shorter PFD work well for kayakers.
If possible, test your PFD in a pool or shallow water; it should not ride up or slip over your chin while floating.

Which insulation do you prefer?

Down: Ultralight, warm and packable—but won't insulate when damp and dries slowly.
Synthetic: Insulates when damp, dries fast and often less pricey than down—though heavier and less packable.
Wet or humid conditions or high activity? Consider water-resistant down, synthetics or down/synthetic hybrids.

How much will temperature and weather vary?

Most insulated jackets feature water-resistant shells. Some use waterproof/breathable material—pricier but they eliminate the need for a separate rain shell.

For high-exertion activities, look for vents in the underarm or core area to dump heat.
Some jackets vary insulation and shell materials based by body zone to provide weather protection and breathability where needed.

Consider features:

Hoods: Add warmth and protection; some are detachable or helmet-compatible
3-in-1 jackets: Combine an outer shell and midlayer that zip together, so you can wear separately or as one
Pockets: Designed to stash gear, secure valuables and more.
