Question: are inflatable life jackets uscg approved?
Answer: While sailing in US waters, there must be a USCG approved PFD for every person on board. If you choose to wear a non USCG approved inflatable PFD, you must also have aboard a foam (not inflatable) USGC approved PFD. NOTE: Inflatable life jackets satisfy the Coast Guard requirements of “one per person” only when worn.
