Now more than ever, a wider range of approved types and colours of PFDs are available to boaters.
Manufacturers now have the flexibility to respond to consumers' demand for comfort and fashion.
When shopping keep in mind your need for visibility on or in the water. Inflatable PFDs are NOT approved for use by persons less than 16 years of age or weighing less than 36.3 kg. Lifejackets come in only orange, red or yellow, offering greater buoyancy and the ability to turn an unconscious person face-up in the water. Choose a flotation device that meets your specific needs. Flotation devices that are ripped or in poor condition are not considered approved.
