Kent Adult Type I Commercial Foam Life Jacket, USCG Approved for Over 90 lbs, Orange

The Kent Adult Type I Commercial Foam Life Jacket is built for adults weighing over 90 lbs who need serious offshore protection, not just a recreational fit. This is a Type I personal flotation device, the USCG classification reserved for extended survival in rough or remote waters where rescue may be slow in coming, and it is the style required aboard commercial watercraft. Unlike lower-rated jackets, this design is engineered to turn an unconscious wearer to a vertical or slightly backward position, keeping the face clear of the water without any action needed from the wearer.

The jacket features highly visible colored fabric combined with SOLAS grade reflective material, so a person in the water is easier to spot in low light or from a distance. A SOLAS compliant whistle comes attached for signaling, and an attachment loop lets you add a safety light for additional visibility. Adjustable straps let each wearer get a snug, secure fit, and the jacket delivers a minimum of 22 lbs of buoyancy. It is U.S. Coast Guard approved.
