Great
Features for Your Benefit! |
| We just can't say enough about safety! Wear your life
vest too! Now the children. These are Type lll wearable PFDs
for kids! (yes, Personal Flotation
Devices), and have great features for their comfort. They hardly know
they have it on! Now that is a great Life Jacket! These have a
great, durable, zippered front and a "straight up the front
zipper" that allows you to put it on them just like a jacket, very
easy! From there, there are crotch straps, (glad I grew up), and it
holds the jacket from riding up those little "baby fat" bodies.
(Please don't say I said that, just a little Baby Huey shape going on
there sometimes.) From there, the color is vivid to show off a great
style for the color conscious kiddo. The kids are also proud to wear
that same Extrasport Logo like mom and dad, even though they do not
know that it reflects that same quality standard known for several decades featuring life saving equipment
for the raft guide and rescue professional! They just think it is cool! |

Sizing - These Jackets are designed
for children from 30 to 50 lbs and a chest size less than 24
inches..

| What is this "Type
lll" and "16.6 lbs of flotation" stuff all about? -
Type 1, Offshore
Life Jacket; Type ll,
Near Shore Buoyant Vest ; Type lll,
Flotation Aid; Type lV,
Throw-able device; Type V,
Special Use Device - Almost all Extrasport designs are categorized as Type
lll devices. Type lll PFDs are best suited for most recreational
water sports where mobility and water play are involved including but not
limited to paddlesports, jet skis, motor boating and skiing. We also
make "of course" some Type V Special Use Devices such as our
Swiftwater Rescue Vests. We also make Type ll PFDs, which categorize
almost half of our children's vests. The US Coast Guard requires
that all Type lll PFDs have a minimum of 15.5 lbs of flotation, at the
time of manufacture. Since most adults wearing a bating suit weigh
between 10 and 12 lbs in the water, (Wow! Loose weight, go swimming!),
this requirement allows at least 3.5 lbs of extra flotation over the
minimum requirement of 15.5 lbs, that excess margin is called Effective
Required Buoyancy, (ERB). All Extrasport PFDs are designed with
extra floatation to exceed the US Coast Guards requirements. When
you purchase your new PFD, please refer to the required US Coast Guard
"Think Safe" pamphlet attached to each floatation aid. |
- Great fitting small jacket for children, with great neck and head
clearance for the active toddler
- Adjustment strap wraps the waist, with a centered and sturdy zipper
that zips up the front center, for "ease of installation"
- Crotch strap to keep the jacket from riding up in unexpected
situations, keeping the little gal or buddy safe!
- Great Red Color for vivid appearance so that the wearer can be
found
- Water Ski, 100 mph approved? - Not at all. Gotcha. You
are reading! That is good. Read the safety pamphlet when
you get your jackets called "Think Safe" written by the US
Coast Guard!
- Extrasport quality just like mom and dad with a "decades old High Quality Rescue
Reputation" and the same great Logo on front for lasting enjoyment
- An Old Town Canoe sister
