Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) can wear over time due to exposure to environmental factors such as sunlight, saltwater, and moisture, which can degrade the materials. Frequent use and improper storage can also contribute to wear, as physical stresses may weaken the fabric and seams. Additionally, chemical exposure from oils, cleaning agents, or pollutants can compromise the integrity of the PFD. Regular inspection and proper maintenance are essential to prolong the lifespan of a PFD.
