A Type I Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is a life jacket designed for maximum buoyancy and safety in open water. It is typically suitable for use in rough conditions and is intended to turn an unconscious person face-up in the water. These PFDs are often used by commercial boaters and in situations where rescue may be delayed, as they provide reliable flotation and visibility. They are bulkier than other types of PFDs, making them less comfortable for long-term wear but highly effective for emergency situations.
Type 1 Offshore Life Jacket PFD's are designed for open, rough or remote waters.
