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.
