Livery Personal Flotation Device

A PFD, or Personal Flotation Device, is a safety device designed to keep you afloat in water. It's essential for activities like boating, kayaking, or paddleboarding, as it helps prevent drowning. Wearing a PFD can significantly increase your safety while enjoying water sports.

If a PFD is USCG approved, it means it has met the safety standards set by the United States Coast Guard. This approval ensures that the device is reliable and suitable for use in various water activities, giving you peace of mind while you’re on the water.

Harmonized Level 70 indicates that a PFD provides a minimum buoyancy of 15.7 pounds, which is adequate for certain water activities. Choosing a PFD with this rating ensures that it meets safety requirements for recreational use, making it a smart choice for your water adventures.

EPE (Expanded Polyethylene) and PE (Polyethylene) foam are lightweight materials that provide buoyancy and comfort in flotation devices. These foams help keep you afloat while being flexible enough to allow for ease of movement, making your experience safer and more enjoyable.

The 200D Nylon fabric used in PFDs is strong and durable, which means it can withstand wear and tear from water activities. A higher denier number, like 200D, indicates a thicker and more resilient material, ensuring that your PFD lasts longer and performs well in various conditions.

While you can use a PFD with a lower buoyancy rating, it may not provide adequate safety for certain activities. It's important to choose a PFD that meets or exceeds the recommended buoyancy for your specific water sport to ensure your safety and compliance with regulations.
