PFD, or personal flotation device, is a category that includes several types of life jackets, which are classified by the U.S. Coast Guard into five types: Type I, II, III, IV, and V. Each type is designed for different water conditions and activities, ranging from the highly buoyant Type I for offshore use to the more comfortable Type III for recreational boating, and the special-use Type V for activities like whitewater paddling.
Type I
Off-shore life jacket: Most buoyant type, designed for all waters, especially rough or remote conditions where rescue may be delayed.
Function: Designed to turn most unconscious wearers face-up in the water.
Type II
Near-shore buoyant vest: Suitable for calm, inland waters where rescue is likely to be quick.
Function: Will turn an unconscious person face-up in most circumstances, though they are bulkier than Type III.
Type III
Flotation aid: Designed for general boating or specialized activities like kayaking, canoeing, and water skiing on calm, inland waters.
Function: Intended for conscious wearers and will not turn an unconscious person face-up. They are often the most comfortable for active use.
Type IV
Throwable device: Not to be worn, but designed to be thrown to someone who has fallen overboard.
Examples: Ring buoys and seat cushions.
Type V
Special-use device: Approved for particular activities, such as whitewater rafting or sail racing.
Note: Must be worn to count as meeting safety requirements, and the specific intended use is listed on the label.
