The Kent Type V USCG Approved Life Vest, often referred to as a Type V Vinyl Dip Work Vest, is a highly visible personal flotation device (PFD) designed for professional and recreational use on and near the water.
Its bright orange vinyl-dip outer shell makes it easy to spot in low-light or crowded work environments, while the U.S. Coast Guard Type V approval ensures it meets regulatory safety requirements for tasks on the jobsite.
The vest includes adjustable shoulders and sides, a heavy-duty fully encircling belt and chest strap for a secure and customizable fit, along with reflective panels on the front and back to boost visibility.
An opening in the back accommodates most fall harnesses, making this vest suitable for marine workers who need compatibility with other safety gear. The inherently buoyant foam provides a minimum of 17.5 lb of buoyancy, helping keep the wearer afloat.
