Personal Flotation Devices can wear out due to exposure to sun or water. Hang the PFD on a hanger to drip dry after washing it out, to avoid mold. Avoid drying it in the sun or exposing it to the heat of a dryer. Periodically spray it with a UV protectants. PFDs do lose buoyancy over time, so test it periodically to be certain it will keep you afloat.
