• Type III: Also known as a flotation aid, offers buoyancy for conscious wearers in calm, inland waters, providing freedom of movement.
• Type IV: A throwable device, such as a ring buoy or cushion, designed to be easily tossed to a person in distress for additional flotation.
• Type V: Specialized flotation device tailored for specific activities or conditions, such as kayaking or windsurfing, ensuring maximum safety and compliance with Coast Guard regulations when worn.
