life jacket , Personal flotation device (abbreviated as PFD; also referred to as a life jacket, life preserver, Mae West, life vest, life saver, cork jacket, buoyancy aid or flotation suit) is piece of equipment designed to assist a wearer, who may be either conscious or unconscious, to keep afloat.
PFDs are available in different sizes to accommodate variances in body weight. Designs differ depending on wearing convenience and level of protection.
Buoyancy aid (foam core) The simplest and least buoyant type of PFD comes in the form of nylon-lined foam vests, used predominantly in water sports such as kayaking, canoeing and dinghy sailing.Buoyancy aids are designed to allow freedom of movement while providing a user with the necessary buoyancy. They are also designed for minimal maintenance and as they are only constructed from foam and can be mass-produced inexpensively, making them one of the most common forms of PFDs.
Buoyancy aids also come designed especially for children and youth. These vests may include one or two understraps to be worn between the legs of the wearer and also a headrest flap. The understraps are designed to keep the vest from riding up when worn in the water, and restrict the wearer from slipping out of the life vest. These straps are adjustable and should be fastened at all times while worn. These straps are included on life vests designed to be worn by everyone from infants to children to adults. The headrest flap is designed to help support the head and keep it out of the water. A grab handle is attached to the headrest if needed to rescue or lift the wearer up.
