What Is A Life Jacket?

Life jacket is a life-saving garment, designed like a vest, made of nylon fabric or NEOPRENE, buoyant material or inflatable material, reflective material, etc.

The life jacket is generally used for 5 to 7 years, and is one of the life-saving equipment on the ship and the aircraft. Generally vest type, made of foam or cork, etc. Wear on the body has enough buoyancy, so that the head can be above the water.

The role of the life jacket is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Help drowning people stay buoyant: Life jackets are designed to be buoyant enough to keep a drowning person's head above the water so that it is easy to breathe and call for help. For people who can't swim, a life jacket can provide extra buoyancy, helping them stay above the water and avoid the danger of drowning. For people who can swim, the buoyancy of a life jacket can allow them to save more physical strength in order to cope better in an emergency.

Increase the chance of rescue: Life vests are generally brightly colored and have reflective strips, which are easy to be found. At the same time, many life jackets are also equipped with survival whistles, which can send out a distress signal while saving energy, increasing the chance of being found by rescuers.

Cold and warm: life jackets are mostly made of foam, which can effectively keep warm in cold water, reduce the loss of human heat, and reduce the danger caused by cold.

Aid rescue: In emergency situations, life jackets can be used as rescue equipment to assist rescue personnel in rescue operations. For example, in sea rescue, life jackets can help rescue workers stabilize drowning people and prevent them from being swept away by waves.
