What’s the difference between an inflatable vest and a solid material foam vest?
Inflatable vests are comfortable and are automatically and/or manually inflated by means of a gas cylinder. These vests demand a lot of maintenance and are therefore rather expensive. If the vest is badly maintained or used incorrectly, there is a risk that it may not function. Suitable for sailors, etc. and as a work vest. Solid material vests are vests that have permanent inherent buoyant material They require less maintenance, are cheaper, and have a longer life. They are guaranteed to work as long as they are well maintained and used appropriately. These vests are available in various types and designs, depending on the material used. Suitable for situations where there is a great risk of falling in the water (children, surfers, waterskiing).
