Personal Watercraft Insurance, Finding a Properly Fitting Life Jacket.
Each vest is cut differently, so it is a very good idea to visit your nearest watersports outfitter to try on multiple models. Your life jacket needs to be snug, a properly fitted jacket might feel a little uncomfortable in the store. Remember, most life jackets tend to loosen up by 10 to 15 percent when wet, so always err on the side of tight. After all, your brand-new life jacket will not do much good if it shifts up over your head on your first fall.
