Type V - Special Purpose <br />These PFDs are intended for specific uses, such as whitewater activities or boardsailing. <br />Their turning performance (keeping an unconscious person face -up) is rated through a <br />system identical to PFD types I, II and III; however, some styles may also require that an <br />additional PFD be worn in order to be fully effective. Type V PFDs come in a variety of <br />styles, from full-body suits to work vests. Some have a safety harness and some provide <br />protection against hypothermia (survival suits). <br />Examples of PFD Types <br />Qli shorr.
