DO NOT ATTACH PFDs TO YOUR BOAT

Each PFD has straps, hooks, buckles, or other means for securing the device in place on the wearer. Some PFDs also incorporate decorative Dee rings or tabs. Such items are not to be used to attach the device to the boat. Attaching the device to the boat will not permit it to function as intended.

CO2 PERMEATION LOSS

CO2 gas will permeate the chamber fabric over time. Oral inflation will be necessary to maintain full buoyancy.

BUDDY LINE INFORMATION

Buddy lines, when provided, are to be used by people adrift in the water, to attach themselves to one another and aid in staying together. Buddy lines are not designed for lifting.
