Designed for marine safety officers, emergency rescue teams, commercial charter boat operators, pool managers, and recreational boaters, this high-buoyancy vest fulfills strict legal vessel compliance mandates. It provides an intuitive personal flotation device (PFD) that requires zero user calibration, making it perfect for rapid distribution to passengers or crew members during a sudden maritime event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core safety mechanism of this Type II PFD is its specific, weight-distributed yoke geometry. Unlike standard low-profile Type III recreational vests that merely keep a conscious swimmer afloat, Type II life jackets are structurally engineered to turn an unconscious person from a face-down position to a vertical, face-up position in the water. This classic \"keyhole\" design focuses high-density foam buoyancy directly underneath the user's upper chest and neck, ensuring that the wearer's airway remains clear of the water surface even if they are incapacitated, injured, or unable to swim to safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUSCG Approved Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Fully certified as a United States Coast Guard Approved Type II Personal Flotation Device for inland marine compliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAirway-First Safety Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically weighted and shaped to instinctively turn most unconscious wearers face-up in the water to prevent drowning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHigh-Visibility Safety Orange:\u003c\/b\u003e Swathed in bright, fluorescent orange textile to ensure immediate visual spotting by rescue aircraft or surface vessels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeavy-Duty Webbing Strap:\u003c\/b\u003e Outfitted with a high-tensile adjustable belt and an impact-resistant quick-release buckle to secure various torso profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater-Resistant Closed Foam:\u003c\/b\u003e High-buoyancy internal polyethylene foam blocks retain zero water weight and provide consistent long-term lift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUniversal Fleet Staging:\u003c\/b\u003e Low-profile, stackable keyhole profile allows bulk quantities to pack tightly into commercial vessel emergency storage lockers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Kemp USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/b\u003e Type II Life Jacket (Near-Shore Buoyancy Vest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUSCG Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e Type II Personal Flotation Device (PFD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShell Textile Matrix:\u003c\/b\u003e High-tensile, UV-stabilized woven polyester fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInternal Flotation Core:\u003c\/b\u003e Closed-cell, moisture-impermeable polyethylene (PE) foam sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColor Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e International Safety Orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Adjustable structural webbing strap with a non-corrosive polymer quick-release buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSizing Class Thresholds:\u003c\/b\u003e Adult (90+ lbs) | Child (30 to 50 lbs \/ 50 to 90 lbs options) | Infant (Under 30 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrimary Application Scope:\u003c\/b\u003e Commercial charter boats, inland waterways, safety compliance kits, pool rescue staging, and municipal water rescue fleets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFulfillment Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard Warehouse Dispatch (Processes and ships within 1 to 3 business days)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kemp USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41580629754025,"sku":"KEMP-20-001-4-PACK","price":53.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2304\/8155\/products\/20-001-4-pack_6e3e4a1b-6aba-46d0-9ff2-50b858ba72bc.jpg?v=1756966569","url":"https:\/\/rescue-supply.com\/products\/kemp-usa-type-ii-life-jacket-uscg-approved-high-buoyancy-near-shore-personal-flotation-device-pfd","provider":"Rescue Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
