ABSTRACT:
A floatation garment adapted to aid in keeping the user afloat in the water. The garment has at least one floatation pad of suitable flexible floatation material of a predetermined thickness, the pad having one or more lines of reduced thickness extending across the pad. A fabric cover or shell having an outer and inner panel is provided with the floatation pad being disposed within a pocket between the outer and inner panels. The outer and inner panels are sewn to the pad and to one another along the lines of reduced thickness thereby to hold the pad in place with respect to the shell and to permit the garment to readily be flexed along the lines of reduced thickness.
