I'm not a boater yet... I learned some life saving info in this video - the difference between a life vest and a PFD. Thank you! 👏🏻

[@DrZond]

One vitally important feature that many life jackets do NOT have, is the ability to act as a harness so that the wearer can be hoisted out of the water with a halyard. I would not buy a life jacket without that feature. Many people have drowned simply because they couldn't get back into the boat, especially in rough weather. This one appears to have that ability. I say that because of the 2 steel D rings. You would clip the shackle through both of them because that little plastic buckle would fail. However I wish they stated that specifically.

Replace if red or 2012. OR, Replace if red during 2012? Mine says 2012 but it’s still green. Do I need to replace it or wait until it’s red?

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

I would contact Mustang but it seems to me replace when red OR at end of 2012

[@daveg4963]

I'd be worried about the zipper jamming up.

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Haven't ever heard of this happening

[@FRDETsdfs]

Good, but a little too slow. I found my attention wandering.

[@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine]

Fair enough!
