How a lifejacket inflates
- Automatic — inflates the moment it touches water; the right choice if you might be unconscious or unable to react.
- Manual — you pull a toggle to inflate. Simpler and cheaper, but only works if you're conscious.
- Foam — always buoyant, no mechanism. Ideal for children, watersports and casual use.
