Where is the best place to store lifejackets and PFDs?

The best place to store lifejackets and personal flotation devices (PFDs) is in a cool, dry location, ideally indoors, to protect them from UV rays, moisture, and extreme temperatures that can degrade the materials. They should be kept easily accessible, such as in a designated storage bin on a boat or in a closet, ensuring they can be quickly retrieved in an emergency. It's also important to periodically inspect them for any signs of wear or damage.
