The US Coast Guard has a great brochure on choosing the correct like vest. You can access it at related links below.
Having the correct life vest is imperative to your safety on board any watercraft. May people assume that life jackets are not necessary when they are on the water, but everyone must be ready for an emergency. This year, there have been many unfortunate deaths due to people not wearing life jackets. Amazingly, many of these deaths were people that could swim well, and that jumped into the water to save another. Be safe! Wear your life vest at all times.
