Please Note - An inflatable PFD is certified by the US Coast Guard as a Type V PFD. However, it meets Coast Guard requirements for Type III PFDs when it is worn. In other words, you must be wearing the deflated collar for it to qualify as a required flotation device.
CO2 cartridges are one-time-use only. It’s good practice to keep an extra on hand to re-arm the PFD after each inflation.
