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.

Waterproof vs. water-resistant

Waterproof/breathable: keeps out hard, driving rain while also being breathable
Waterproof/nonbreathable: a slicker or poncho—inexpensive but traps heat
Water-resistant: can handle light to moderate rain, breathable but permeable

Windproof vs. wind-resistant

Waterproof jackets are also windproof, do not let wind pass through fibers
Wind-resistant jackets are lighterweight but won't handle a squall

Hard shell vs. soft shell

Hard shell: the most protection, less breathability, not insulated
Soft shell: stretchy and breathable, best for high-exertion, typically water-resistant, not -proof

Rainwear layers

2-layer: quietest, midweight, durable moderately priced
2.5-layer: lightweight, good protection, lowest priced
3-layer: best protection, best protection and breathability, highest price
