When choosing a Personal Flotation Device (PFD), it's essential to consider the type of activities you'll be engaging in, as different PFDs are designed for specific uses such as kayaking, boating, or fishing. Ensure that the PFD is U.S. Coast Guard-approved and fits snugly without being restrictive, allowing for freedom of movement. Additionally, look for features like visibility colors, reflective strips, and pockets for convenience, depending on your needs and conditions. Finally, check the weight capacity to ensure it adequately supports the user.
