A Type V Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is designed for specific activities and provides varying levels of buoyancy. Unlike Type I, II, and III PFDs, Type V devices must be used according to the manufacturer's instructions for them to be considered U.S. Coast Guard approved. They are often more compact and less bulky, making them suitable for activities like kayaking, sailing, and windsurfing. Additionally, Type V PFDs may have special features such as harnesses or extra mobility for active water sports.
