PFD Info
There is a difference between a life jacket and a PFD (personal flotation device). Quite often people will say Life-Jacket, when what they mean is PFD. Most camps use/require PFDs, as opposed to Life Jackets. A PFD is designed for constant wear where comfort and flotation are the critical issues. A PFD will float you, but not self-right you (turn you over in the water). A life jacket will turn you face up in the water, but the foam filled varieties are bulky and less comfortable to wear. Typically, life jackets are horseshoe shaped in design and slip over your head with all of the flotation in the front of your body up around your neck.
