Frequently asked questions
-
How much do used life jackets cost?
- Used life jackets (PFDs) commonly sell for 10 to 40 dollars each, well below new, and buying used is a budget-friendly way to outfit a whole crew. Inflatable PFDs cost more used but need their CO2 cartridges checked. Confirm each is Coast Guard approved and fits the wearer.
-
Is it safe to buy a used life jacket?
- Yes, as long as it is Coast Guard approved, fits the wearer's weight and chest range, and the fabric, straps, buckles, and zippers are sound with no rot, tears, or mildew. Avoid inflatable PFDs with expired or missing cartridges unless you rearm them. A used PFD that fits right is far safer than a poorly fitting new one.
-
How do I choose the right life jacket?
- Match the PFD to the wearer's weight and chest size (child and infant sizes are by weight), the activity (a ski vest differs from a paddling PFD), and confirm the Coast Guard approval suits your use. It must fit snugly without riding up. Try it on and check the fit before you rely on it.
