This PFD is classified as a Type 2 PFD, and a Type 5 PFD. It is intended to be used as near-shore buoyant vests. They’re not designed for long periods in rough water, but for calm, inland water.

The PFD employs the Hydrostatic Inflation Technology system (HIT) which uses a firing pin in the jacket which in turn discharges the replaceable CO2 jet, inflating the jacket.
