Abstract:
A personal flotation device is disclosed. The personal flotation device comprises a wearable shell comprising an articulated section extending across a width of the wearable shell, a first buoyant member housed by the wearable shell, a second buoyant member housed by the wearable she and spaced from the first buoyant member, wherein the articulated section extends between the first and second buoyant members and defines a substantially planar vertical extent therebetween, and a fastening assembly configured to fasten the wearable shell to a user's torso at one of a plurality of positions along the substantially planar vertical extent of the articulated section and/or along a passageway inside the wearable shell and adjacent to the articulated section, wherein the fastening assembly includes a fastener movable between a first position defining a first circumferential length and a second position defining a second circumferential length. The personal flotation device is thus configured to mitigate or prevent it from rising up along a user's body when the personal flotation device is submerged in water and secured to the user.

Claim (Index 3):
The personal flotation device of  claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of hoops positioned along the substantially planar vertical extent of the articulated section, wherein each of the plurality of hoops are configured to receive the fastener for positioning the fastener at one of the plurality of positions along the substantially planar vertical extent of the articulated section.
