Lifevest Safety Tips
It is important to test a PFD in shallow water or a guarded swimming pool to make sure it fits appropriately and is in proper working order.
Be sure to always check the condition of your life jacket(s) before heading out for any watersport activity. When boating, make sure you always have enough life jackets on board for every passenger.
To keep water out of the vest, a bottom drain or mesh drainage is usually provided
The size of life vest you buy depends on your weight and size(See Sizing Chart)
Always keep your vest in a place you can access in a reasonable amount of time in an emergency (vessel sinking, on fire, etc.).
Life Jackets should not be stowed in plastic bags, in locked or closed compartments or have other gear stowed on top of them.
Children should wear life jackets at all times when on boats or near bodies of water.
Teach your child how to put on his or her own life jacket.
Teach your child how to put on his or her own life jacket.
Make sure the life jacket is the right size for your child. The jacket should not be loose. It should always be worn as instructed with all straps belted.
Adults should wear life jackets for their own protection and to set a good example.

It was in the 1960s that Stearns really hit stride. The company began to develop stylish and comfortable Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) as an alternative to the orange "horse collar" preservers then in use. When the Federal Boat Safety Act was passed, allowing private industry to manufacture new PFD designs under U.S. Coast Guard guidelines, Stearns introduced its innovative Type III PFD in 1973. This tremendously successful product quickly gained popularity and its widespread use by consumers is credited as an influence in the continuing decline in boating fatalities.
High-quality water safety products are still a mainstay of the Stearns line: ship abandonment survival suits, deck suits, flotation jackets, inflatable life rings, flotation cushions, and water sport PFD's.
Stearns Inc. has two manufacturing facilities located in Minnesota. That centralization and high-quality workforce provides the core which permits the company to establish and maintain consistent standards for quality. So, 98.8% of Stearns products stay in the field.
