A guide to finding the perfect fit:
 
  • Lifejackets should not ride up on the body in the water and should fit snuggly
  • If your mouth is not well above the water you need a life jacket with more buoyancy
  • The tag on the side of your lifejacket specifies the weight range for their wearer – be sure it matches your weight
