Most people who are not involved in water sports have only a vague idea of ​​the design of a life jacket. For many, it appears as a bright orange construction filled with foam. Some even believe that the life jacket is simply inflated with air.

In fact, such ideas are very far from reality. Today there is a great variety of different life jackets, each of which is designed strictly for certain conditions. Therefore, you should not think that a life jacket for a lifeguard on the beach, and a device with the same name, but intended for use in rafting, are one and the same.

The industry offers a wide range of life jackets with a wide variety of features and designs. Therefore, before buying yourself a similar product, you need to decide where exactly it will be used, and then carefully study all the features of the goods offered on the market.

Life jackets are divided into four main types:
- for insurance and rescue work;
- for water tourism;
- for kayaking;
- for rafting.

The first group of vests has a number of additional devices that rescuers use in their work - a sling cutter, a towing carabiner, a break sling and others. Of course, for people who do not use all these gadgets, there is no need to purchase such a life-saving tool.

Water tourism vests have bright colors and reflective stripes to make it easy to spot a person who is overboard. In addition, in such uniforms there are many pockets that allow you to store various useful items. The length of such vests is shorter than those worn by rescuers, as they should be comfortable to sit in the boat and row with oars.

The kayaking life jacket is essentially a variant of the touring vest. The only difference is that they have larger armholes and narrower shoulder straps.

The last category of life jackets is somewhat longer than all the others. Also, the vest for rafting has a number of additional fasteners, allowing, on the one hand, to fit it as accurately as possible to the figure, and on the other hand, to secure the vest to the body of the athlete as firmly as possible. Given that the rafting takes place in a dangerous section of the river or sand dunes i.e dirt biking experience, and injuries are quite possible, vests often have a floating collar that supports the person's head above the water in case of loss of consciousness.
