How Do I Choose the Right Size Life Jacket/PFD?Updated 2 months ago

 1. Choose the Right Size

  • Check Jetpilot’s size chart based on your chest measurement and weight.

  • A snug fit is key too loose and it won’t work as intended. 


 2. Loosen All Straps

  • Before putting it on, loosen all buckles and straps for easy adjustment.


 3. Put It On and Zip/Buckle Up

  • Zip up the front and secure all buckles firmly.

  • Make sure it's sitting evenly on your torso.


 4. Tighten Straps Evenly

  • Start from the bottom straps and tighten upwards.

  • It should feel snug but not restrict your breathing or movement.


5. Perform the “Lift Test”

  • Have someone gently lift the PFD at the shoulders.

  • If it rides up past your chin or ears, it’s too loose re-tighten or try a smaller size.
