Foam life jackets are designed to provide safety and buoyancy to individuals in water. These jackets are filled with buoyant foam that keeps the wearer afloat without requiring any external inflation. They are commonly used in marine environments, including recreational boating, offshore work, and emergency rescue situations. Foam life jackets are available in a variety of sizes, from adult to child sizes, and are designed to keep the wearer’s head above water, even if they are unconscious. The durable, non-inflatable construction ensures that they are always ready for use, providing peace of mind in critical situations.
