Marlin Life Jacket FAQs

What is the difference between a life jacket and a life vest?

The terms 'life jacket' and 'life vest' are often used interchangeably, referring to personal flotation devices. However, some may distinguish them based on design and buoyancy. Life jackets typically have more buoyancy, covering more of the torso, while life vests are lighter and may provide less coverage. Both are crucial for water safety, with variations suited to different activities and preferences.

What type of life jacket is best for kayaking?

For kayaking, a Type III life jacket is commonly recommended. These vests are designed for water activities, offering comfort, mobility and buoyancy. Type III jackets allow paddlers to move freely, making them ideal for kayaking where arm movements are frequent. It's essential to choose a well-fitting jacket that meets safety standards to ensure proper functionality and enhance the overall safety of the kayaker.

Do you have to wear a life jacket in a kayak in Australia?

Australian regulations require kayakers to have a life jacket on board, but wearing it might not be mandatory in all situations. However, specific rules may vary by state or territory. Always check the local maritime authority's guidelines for the most accurate and up-to-date information on life jacket requirements for kayaking in Australia.

Do life jackets have a lifespan?

Yes, life jackets have a lifespan. Over time, exposure to sunlight, water and general wear can degrade the materials and buoyancy of the jacket. Manufacturers often recommend replacing life jackets every 10 years, even if they appear visually intact. Regular inspections, following care guidelines and adhering to expiration recommendations, are essential for ensuring the effectiveness and safety of life jackets.
