What pfd is recommended in rough waters?

In rough waters, a Type III personal flotation device (PFD) is often recommended due to its comfort and versatility, allowing for ease of movement while providing buoyancy. For more challenging conditions, a Type I PFD, which offers the highest level of buoyancy and is designed to turn an unconscious person face-up in the water, may be a better option. Additionally, PFDs with a high visibility color and reflective strips can enhance safety in turbulent conditions. Always ensure the PFD is properly fitted and appropriate for the specific activity.
