Note: An inflatable PFD is certified by the U.S. Coast Guard as a Type V PFD. However, it meets Coast Guard requirements for Type III PFDs when it is worn with then CO2 cartridge installed. In other words, you must have the pouch secured around your waist for it to qualify as a required flotation device.

Nifty Little Pouch!

3 years ago

Some may say this is just an inflatable PFD but it truly well though out. It's compact, out of the way and offers a nice amount of storage without making it too bulky. No bigger than a small-medium fanny pack and it holds a life vest, a iPhone 12 Pro, a set of keys and a Fitbit with ease.

Open water swimming Safety

2 years ago

I needed a lifevest to take open water swimming. This works great as i dont want a vest deployed unless i need it. I swim 1 ro 4 miles a day and wear thos on my waist a d my swim buddy attached to it. I fell more confident on the long swim knowing i have a life vest i can deploy in cast i have a health issue, or an accident.

Great Safety PFD

1 year ago

This is a great "safety" PFD for me. I wear this when I am fly fishing...especially when I am wading in the colder months. I fish alone quite often and I like know that I have this on if I suddenly end up in deeper water than I thought or if I fall into cold water and need the extra buoyancy to get to shore.
