Life Jacket Code Labels Gone, More Comfortable Life Jackets on the Horizon by: Terry Brown

Date:

 In a move that’s expected to benefit recreational boaters, on Oct. 22 the US Coast Guard will drop the current life jacket type code scheme  — Type I, II, III, IV and V — that has been used for years to label and differentiate the types of life jackets and their specific use.
