How to Wear an Inflatable Lifejacket with an Integrated Harness

Wearing your inflatable lifejacket correctly is essential for both safety and comfort on the water. In critical moments, the ability to don it quickly and securely is crucial. This guide will walk you through the steps for putting on lifejackets with integrated harnesses.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Unfold and Inspect
   Lay the lifejacket flat and check that the straps aren’t twisted. Make sure the inflation mechanism is armed and ready.
2. Wear It Like a Vest
   Slide your arms through the armholes, ensuring the harness rests evenly on both shoulders.
3. Adjust for a Secure Fit
   Tighten the side and shoulder straps until the lifejacket fits snugly against your body. Proper adjustment prevents it from moving excessively while in use.
4. Fasten Buckles and Clips
   Secure all buckles, including any leg or crotch straps, to keep the jacket from riding up.
5. Test Mobility and Comfort
   Move your arms and shoulders to ensure you have full range of motion and that the jacket stays in place comfortably.

Don’t wait until it’s too late—practice putting on your lifejacket now to be prepared for any situation. Proper fit and adjustment ensure the jacket performs as it should when you need it most.
