inflatable vest

Blow-up safety garment

An inflatable vest is a safety garment worn around the torso that can be filled with air or gas to provide buoyancy.

Life vests on aircraft are inflatable, deployed by pulling a cord that releases compressed gas: In the event of a water landing, pull the tab to inflate your vest.

Some cyclists and motorcyclists wear inflatable vests that deploy on impact to cushion a fall.
