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.
