ABSTRACT:
A flotation jacket or vest is unit molded from foam plastics to fit the body with comfort. Uncomfortable square cut edges are completely eliminated. The interior surface of the jacket is grooved to promote drainage and to help the jacket conform to body contours particularly in regions of abrupt curvature. Zones of increased thickness resulting in greater buoyancy can be formed near the bottom of the jacket. Quick release buckles at the front of the jacket are readily reachable at all times by the wearer.
