Why “Approved Only When Worn”?

This PFD requires more frequent checks than Type III inflatable

PFDs with a cylinder seal indicator or inherently buoyant PFDs.

This approval condition lets users overcome its design trait that

would otherwise prevent approval.

By wearing this PFD:

1) It gets needed extra attention associated with use:

2) Users get to know the disadvantages it has; and

3) Safety increases enormously because user has it when needed
When PFD is not worn, it’s less likely to be in working order and

cannot be counted as a PFD to meet the carriage requirements

on you boat.

Type V Automatic/Manual 

Inflatable PFD with Type III 

performance. This type V 

PFD must be worn to be 

considered acceptable as 

an approved PFD.
