Inflable pfd

[wannabe fisherman]

I guess it really depends on the manufacturer or where it is sold. I own 2500 series from cabelas and I know they are rated for more than 250lbs. They also have a 3500 series. Mine is comfortable enough to where I have it on all day without knowing it.

Make sure it is a type I or II and not IV. Federal USCG law allows inflatables (worn or not) to count as long as they meet the same type requirements. IV vests only count if worn.

That said, some states require an inflatable to be worn in order to count. They are slowly moving from that with the new USCG requirements but check your state to make sure.

WEAR IT NO MATTER WHAT, YOUR LIFE MIGHT DEPEND ON IT SOMETIME WHEN YOU LEAST THINK ABOUT IT !!
