A Type II Personal Flotation Device (PFD), commonly referred to as a Type II life jacket, is designed for calm waters where rescue is likely. It provides buoyancy and is intended for users who may not be strong swimmers, as it helps turn an unconscious person face-up in the water. These PFDs are typically less bulky than Type I jackets and are suitable for boating, fishing, and other recreational water activities. However, they are not as effective in rough or turbulent waters compared to Type I PFDs.
