Life jackets are often the last equipment purchased when purchasing a boat. As the expenses mount, it’s also an area where some boaters try to save money without understanding the risk.

This is your reminder that one size does not fit all when it comes to life jackets. As important as it is to wear it, it must be properly fitted.
