What is its PFD classification? Does it keep your head above water if you are unconscious?

Type III. Unfortunately only Type I PFDs are rated to keep an unconscious person's head above water. Type I jackets are very large, very bulky, and uncomfortable.

So this vest is definitely not for non-swimmer. While it provides outstanding flotation, at your finger tips, while snorkeling. There is a disclaimer on the inside of the vest, expressing that it should not be used as a PFD. Also, the darn thing rides up on you. You have to rig something to keep it down, especially when slightly inflated. That said, it does provide awesome flotation if you are snorkeling for a long time...

Yes this is a personal floatation device / vest. It is really well made, I love mine.

Not totally sure what you mean......but I swim laps in my pool everyday with it. There's really nothing stationary about it......you get in the water and do whatever you want to do. It's just easier to keep afloat. I am not a strong swimmer but this helps me more than I can say.

Yes, it has all of these features. Auto-on in 5 or so feet of water. A variety of safety stop options but the default is what most divers want.

If you can swim without a flotation device, you will have no problem with this unit keeping you above water. If you were not conscious, you would not sink, but it may not keep your face free of water. If you cannot swim you should not depend on an inflatable device

It is NOT a life saving apparatus. However, it does keep you afloat, but does not keep your head above water unless you moves arms and legs. It is meant for water arobics. I am not a swimmer, but use this for aerobics.

No need to worry about that. The extra buoyancy keeps the head above water but will not flip your dog over.

As far as I know if your are submerged in the water, the inflated life vest should support you. I disconnected the automatic inflation feature and depend upon the manual lanyard to inflate it. I use this in my airplane, and in the event of a water landing, don't want it to inflate until we are clear of the cockpit.

No. Absolutely NO. It does put your head/neck in a neutral position, however it is a cheapo made in china piece of crap version. The plastic is very flimsy and will eventually weaken, causing your head to rest on the flat hard plastic on the bottom which is very uncomfortable. You get what you pay for. They should have made this with a durable poly urethane type solid material or even thicker plastic for that matter.

In the back sleep position The Therapeutica pillow presents a mass of material behind the skull which induces (pushes) Forward Head Posture. The HeadRight provides total prevention of this unwanted FHP influence and can help correct FHP and spine alignment.

It's big enough to fit behind your head. I wouldn't suggest using it as a floaty.

I don't have this model but I'm guessing they all work the same. I had a brain fart on the beach one day (probably too much sun, or age) and couldn't get my canopy to collapse, it would not budge. After a few seconds I realized that I had forgotten to push in the little spring loaded pins that lock the top 4 corner legs and frame in place. I pushed them in and it folded up easily, single handedly, just like it had done every time before then, AND every time since then (an embarrassment that has kept me from ever forgetting again). Since you were at a music festival maybe you were suffering from a similar but different kind of brain impairment? I don't have this model but I'm guessing they all work the same.

Did not wear it for submersion so don't know that part. The buttons broke in a couple of months so couldn't set it again. not recommended.

Pamela, In the same manner that a life preserver would keep you afloat, this belt would also keep you afloat. It is intended to be used when doing aqua aerobic type exercises. If your goal is to do aqua aerobic exercises (i.e. float on your stomach or your back while kicking your legs or doing arm exercises), this would be a good piece of equipment for you. Have a good weekend. Sincerely, Roy Lazarus Trivillage.com

It stays on pretty well...it has straps that attach together to fit around your head. I've never had any issues with it staying put. :-)

I'm not sure, but I did find that if I adjusted the position of the back part, it worked better. For me it's at the base of my skull. You might be able to find relief by experimentation. It would at least keep you in the dark, which is better for sleep. Sorry I couldn'y be more help.
