Kent Type IV Throwable Flotation Cushion, Red, 15 x 16 x 2 1/2 Inches, USCG Approved

This Kent Type IV throwable flotation cushion is a USCG approved and UL listed personal flotation device designed to be thrown to a person in the water and held until rescue, rather than worn. Federal requirements call for a Type IV throwable device to be carried aboard kayaks, canoes, and boats less than 16 feet, and this cushion meets that requirement. The cushion is built with a durable nylon shell over lightweight, durable flotation foam, giving it the buoyancy needed for emergency use while keeping it easy to handle and stow within reach on deck or in a cockpit.

Webbing grab straps are sewn onto the cushion, giving rescuers a secure point to grip when throwing it and doubling as convenient carry handles for everyday transport and storage. The red cloth cover offers high visibility on the water, helping a person in distress spot it quickly. Measuring 15 inches by 16 inches by 2 1/2 inches and weighing 2 pounds, it is sized to be thrown accurately and to double as a comfortable seat cushion when not needed for an emergency.
