Kent Adult Type II Life Jacket

The Kent Adult Type II Life Jacket is a Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device engineered to meet minimum buoyancy requirements for boaters who prioritize compliance and safety on the water. With 15.5 pounds of buoyancy, this Type II jacket delivers dependable flotation support for recreational boating, fishing trips, and water sports where regulatory compliance is mandatory.

Type II life jackets are designed to turn most unconscious wearers face-up in the water, a critical safety feature that distinguishes them from lower-rated options. The 15.5-pound buoyancy rating means the jacket provides adequate flotation for adults in calmer waters and during shorter excursions. Its lightweight construction—just 0.6 pounds—keeps the jacket comfortable enough for extended wear during long days on the water, whether you're trolling offshore or working in shallow bays.

This jacket suits both casual weekend anglers and boaters who operate in regulated waters requiring Type II certification. It's equally practical for charter fishing operations, rental fleets, and anyone maintaining compliance aboard vessels subject to Coast Guard inspection. The Kent Adult Type II is a working PFD—built for the boat, not the beach—and represents a reliable middle ground between minimal flotation and higher-capacity offshore models.

For boaters operating in mild conditions or regulated waters where Type II certification satisfies legal requirements, the Kent Adult Type II delivers essential safety without excess bulk or cost. It's the standard choice for compliance-first operations and a smart backup for any boating setup.
