personal flotation devices
Wearable water safety
Personal flotation devices are equipment designed to keep a person afloat in water—life jackets, life vests, and similar buoyancy aids.
The term appears in safety regulations and product labeling, often abbreviated PFD: All passengers must wear personal flotation devices.
Coast Guard regulations classify them by intended use and buoyancy level.
