Life Jacket Reviews and Buying Guide:Personal flotation devices (PFD) are the only way to make sure you are safe when venturing into the water. Whether you are swimming in a river, boating on a lake, or wakeboarding, a life jacket will let you float on the waters surface if something should go wrong. I grew up wearing life vests whenever we took our family boat out as it was the law. We used to take an inflatable raft out on a local reservoir and we always wore our life jackets. Each summer we hear about senseless deaths on rivers and waterways around America where kids and adults unfortunately drown and most of the time they could have been saved simply by wearing a life jacket vest. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) classifies all flotation devices (Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, Type V) so make sure the one you choose is appropriate for whatever watersport you will be doing (fishing, boating, waterskiing, etc.). The top brands to consider are Stearns, WinningEdge, Coleman, Kent, Body Glove, O'Neill, and Hyperlite. Expect to spend at least $15 for the basic ones and up to $100 for the high end life jackets.

Kids Life Vest:Kids the ones we all need to protect when in or around water. I live in Oregon where each year we hear about a child drowning in a river or lake, usually needlessly. ALWAYS have your child wear a personal flotation device for their own safety and your piece of mind. Most life jackets for kids run about $20 and the money is well spent. They give you kid the freedom to play in the water and still stay safe. See all the top rated children's life vests on Amazon.com here. We suggest looking at the Child's Stearns Watersports Vest or the Child's Stearns Boating Vest. For those between 50 and 90 lbs the Youth Boating Vest is another option.
