THE RIGHT LIFE JACKET FOR THE RIGHT SITUATION

A good life jacket serves as a swimming support, so it is important that the person wearing a life jacket can swim. If you are behind a boat at high speed on a funtube it is important to wear a good life jacket, this can be a nylon or neoprene life jacket. If you are going to do water sports where you fall hard on the water it is important to wear an impact vest, this catches the impact of the blows on the water to prevent injuries. If you are going to spend a day on the water with the boat, a life jacket is ideal, these are compact and comfortable, they only unfold when they come into contact with water. If your child has not yet learned to swim, it is also wise to wear a life jacket, as it automatically turns you onto your back if you fall.

BUYING A LIFEJACKET
The main difference between a lifejacket and a life jacket is that a life jacket's collar ensures that you lie on your back in the water. A life jacket comes in an automatic life jacket or nylon life jacket, also known as the orange life jacket. The automatic life jacket inflates itself when the cartridge fills with water. An automatic life jacket should be stored properly. In a damp room, the cartridge may fill up and may even inflate. For most lifejackets, however, cartridges are available separately so that the lifejacket can be used again. Useful on a sailing boat, for example, but not useful in a place where you come into frequent contact with water. We definitely recommend a life jacket for children who do not yet have a swimming certificate.
