Body Glove Paddle Pals Life Vest

Different Coast Guard PFD Types

The US Coast Guard has approved various types of personal flotation devices (PFDs) for different water activities and conditions. Understanding the differences between these PFD types is crucial for ensuring the safety of both children and adults during water-based adventures.

Type I PFDs are suitable for all water conditions and are designed to turn the wearer's face up in the water, providing the highest level of buoyancy. These PFDs are recommended for open, rough, or remote water situations where rescue may be delayed.

Type II PFDs are best suited for calm, inland water conditions and fast-rescue scenarios. While they can help keep the wearer's head above water, they may not be able to turn the wearer's face up automatically.

Type III PFDs are ideal for boating, kayaking, and other recreational water activities. They are designed to hold the wearer in an upright position in the water, providing a comfortable and secure fit.

Type V PFDs are specialized devices intended for extreme water sports and commercial use. These PFDs must be worn correctly to provide the intended level of protection.

Superior Comfort and Safety Features

The Paddle Pals swim vest, constructed with durable polyester material, offers optimal comfort for extended wear, preventing chafing and ensuring your child's comfort during water activities.

A strap with a buckle system on the back of the vest prevents children from removing the vest without parental assistance, enhancing safety.

The shoulder harness keeps the vest securely in place, preventing it from sliding off or shifting around while your child is in the water. This feature ensures your child's safety during water-based activities.

The vibrant and unique graphic designs on the swim aid vest not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also help your child maintain balance while swimming in the water.

USCG Approval and Unmatched Safety

The Paddle Pals swim vest is approved as a Level 70 (Type III) PFD for children, meeting the U.S. Coast Guard's safety standards and providing security for kids participating in water-based activities.

Compared to other kids' life vests without the USCG-approved mark, the Paddle Pals vest is safer and more reliable, ensuring unmatched safety and peace of mind during water activities.

It is important to note that children's life vests not approved by the USCG may not keep kids of different sizes afloat well face-up and could lead to drowning or a child's loss of life. Using USCG-approved PFDs is crucial for water safety.
