We were told that we could use it for our granddaughter when we take her out on our boat on the lake. It keeps her head and arms up and out of the water, she also wears it when she swims in the pool. I don't know the specific type of pfd category.

This website: http://www.stearnsflotation.com/Puddle-Jumperreg-Deluxe-Kids-Life-Jacket-Elephant-P56.aspx#.U4P57mFOXIU states "Each Puddle Jumper® PFD is US Coast Guard-approved when worn on boats and can be used as a learn-to-swim aid." This website: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg5214/pfdselection.asp states the three types.

I did not see anything about it being PFOA so I cant honestly give you an answer to that, I'm sorry, only that it is PTFE!

All that I could find is that the 1155 is CSA approved and the 1153 is not. http://csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/

This is a very stable boat. This boat, complimented with a PFD is a life saving combination.

Identity Stronghold is one of the vendors on GSA-approved list. I suppose they know their stuff.On the other hand, Optexx, though not on the list, publishes the frequencies it blocks, which include 125/134kHz

This vest is USCG Approved Type V, with Type III Performance. It is made by AbsoluteOutdoor.com Cust Service 320-252-2056. It is a great vest with a mesh storage case. is has auto inflate with contact with water which can be disengaged, and auto inflate with a cord, or by mouth. It is light weight and does not interfere with any movements. I use it for fishing and it doesn't interfere in any way. The storage bag is heavy mesh I attached it to my fish finder case so it is always available when I go to the boat. Hope this helps.

I do not know. If you read about pfoa on the internet you may be able to decide if you want to purchase.

braided 16 ga., which is more or less standard for most automotive applications. However, you should note that there is NOTHING about this power adaptor that is either marine grade or heavy duty. It's exactly the same thing as you can pick up at any automotive shop or radio shack for about half the price. You have to purchase the female counterpart to make it water proof or locking. Don't waste your money on this piece of crap. I learned the hard way.

This is a U. S. Coast Guard approved Type V with Type lll performance, for Adults over 16 years of age and over 80 lb's. I do not know what USGS category it is. It has a minimum buoyancy of 22.5 lbs. when inflated. I would guess the weight to be about 1 pound. It is so comfortable and lightweight I don't even know it is on. I use it for kayaking and fishing, I am 5'-6" and go 240lbs, so I am no lightweight, best vest I ever bought.

They are both P100 filters "NIOSH Approved - At least 99.97% filtration efficiency" but you should check 3M's website for exact info. Link below you'll find docs and specs on each. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-PPE-Safety-Solutions/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Products/Product-Catalog/~/Cartridges-Filters-for-3M-Half-and-Full-Facepiece-Respirators-6000-Series-7500-Series-7800S-Series-and-FF-400-Series?N=3294355784+3294529207+8690968+5549793&rt=rud

Yes, it is made by a Marine equipment company that has to comply with nautical marine manufacturers code (NMMC). Check it out on their website.

Loving the technical debates here, they are proper for folks with such great technical interests. That being said, we are considering buying these to use on a cruise in the Caribbean. Obviously, FCC regulations don't apply outside the U.S. and local island regulations apply based on territorial waters, I suppose. Any comments on maritime regulations? What about practical usage ship-board, both from a signal quality standpoint and an unintentional interference with ship operations standpoint? Thanks!

I couldn't tell you, the DHS paddle I purchased is somewhat heavy although it is a very good defensive paddle. It is very fast but a little bit difficult to maneuver for a guy with a bad shoulder. Good luck to you on your purchase.

You can use on a marine diesel unless your boat is Coast Guard approved for taking passengers for hire. In that case you would want to use the UL approved 500MA series.

Yes the US Coast Guard does approve of this item. The number is 161. 012/68/0. No it does not do an automatic S OS. It is a flashing strobe

Any Body Glove product is a quality piece of equipment. This model allows ample mobility and freedom of movement with little 'ride-up. It also has a high buoyancy factor, giving peace of mind for a MOB victim, if necessary. Please keep in mind, a PFD is no substitute for knowing how to swim. It's to be thought of, as an aid for an incident in water, used to assist to wearer.
