Why Choose Type II?

Type II Near-Shore Buoyant Vests are ideal for calm, inland water where a quick rescue is likely. These jackets provide good flotation and are typically less bulky than Type I options.

They may turn some unconscious wearers face-up, but not as reliably as Type I. Their comfort and lighter design make them a common choice for recreational boating, fishing, and general water activities close to shore.
