    Work safely near the water. These vests are international safety orange with reflective tape panels to draw attention to workers in low-visibility environments.
    Vests are United States Coast Guard approved for use as safety equipment.
    Nylon Fabric—Nylon fabric vests are soft and lightweight to keep you comfortable when working.
    Nylon Fabric and Polyester Fabric Mesh—Nylon fabric and polyester fabric mesh vests have a mesh top, making them lighter and more breathable than nylon fabric vests.
    PVC—PVC vests have buckles in the front and snag-resistant belts to reduce the risk of catching on equipment.
    Inflatable Nylon Fabric—Inflatable vests have a CO2 cylinder that will automatically inflate the vest when submerged in water. They have a pull cord and tube to inflate manually. These vests are lightweight with a single buckle, so they’re easy to move around in.
    Type III—Type III vests are for use near calm, inland waters where there is a high chance of immediate rescue.
    Type V—Type V vests are specifically approved for commercial work away from shore and must be worn at all times to meet USCG approval when working.

    High-Visibility Life Preserver Vests

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Life Preservers. High-Visibility Life Preserver Vests.
    These vests are fluorescent yellow with reflective tape panels to make workers stand out in low-visibility conditions. They meet Class 2 ANSI/ISEA 107 standards for high-visibility clothing when working on or near roadways, and they are United States Coast Guard Type III approved for use near calm, inland waters where there is a high chance of immediate rescue. The lining is polyester fabric mesh, making vests lightweight and breathable. They have a zipper down the front and two adjustable buckles to tighten for a snug fit. They also have two pockets with hook and loop closures.
    Life vests should fit snugly. When measuring chest size, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Take all measurements over any clothing you expect to wear under the vest.

    Flotation Jackets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Jackets. Flotation Jackets.
    Coast Guard approved—these jackets keep you warm and double as a life vest. They have built-in foam for buoyancy, so you can work near water without the bulk of your typical flotation device. A fleece liner keeps you warm and a nylon shell and frontal storm flap block out rain and wind. The sleeves stay snug on your wrists thanks to neoprene inner cuffs and hook and loop outer cuffs. Should you need it, a mesh liner helps drain trapped water.
    With bright colors and reflective stripes, these jackets make you stand out in emergencies. They meet ANSI/ISEA 107, so they've passed tests for visibility at high speeds and distances.
    When measuring chest size, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Take all measurements over any clothing you expect to wear under these jackets.
