Are they US Coast Guard approved?

Yes they are - we use them for our dragon boat race team and the association is very strict about what we wear. http://www.stearnsflotation.com/Comfort-Seriestrade-Life-Vest-P16.aspx

In a word, yes. What you need to determine is how you will use any vest. Probably not the best for ocean going.

I specifically looked to see if the one I purchased was CGuard approved and it was. Most of the ones I checked out told you right upfront if they had this approval.

Yes. Read the full product description. It's the last line. BTW, the PFD is still holding up well, so I can still recommend it.

Yes I believe they are!! Mine have been out through the rain and wind so I believe they are UL Approved.

This is a type III device, BUT it must be worn at all times to qualify as an approved Coast Guard life vest. You can't just have it in the boat as with other flotation devices. Unless it is worn, it doesn't count.

Yes, I use these as a U.S. Marine and they fit perfectly underneath my Kevlar. You'll need to adjust your chinstrap though.

They are marine certified. They will work great in a motorcycle as long as they fit

I don't believe so. If they are, it was not enough that I even noticed. We were pleased with the product

I bought them and love how they look and function. We are near the coast and have had no problems with them.

I am not a salt water boater but do have some knowledge of your need. The radios do not have the maritime channels that I believe you would need to contact the Coast Guard. They work best as contact with another/other radio(s) tuned to matching frequencies. For that purpose, and within the limitations of technology, they work great.

They are not mine. I only bought one and use it on my boat. Mine works fine.

Yes the US Coast Guard does approve of this item. The number is 161. 012/68/0. No it does not do an automatic S OS. It is a flashing strobe

They could be if you desired to do so. I have them mounted on my boat and they are great...especially for the price!

Yes they are. The product is a great buy. I personally give it 2 thumbs way up.

Yes, USPS does accept them. The only problem is that they run small. Post cards wouldn't fit. I ship small pieces of jewelry and this is absolutely perfect and great quality.

On another site it says they are, but I advice calling the company directly and verifying to be sure :)

Technically yes....but these radios are not FCC certified for use on the Maritime service. The only legal way to use them is to have a Ham radio license and to use them on Ham frequencies.

This vest is USCG Approved Type V, with Type III Performance. It is made by AbsoluteOutdoor.com Cust Service 320-252-2056. It is a great vest with a mesh storage case. is has auto inflate with contact with water which can be disengaged, and auto inflate with a cord, or by mouth. It is light weight and does not interfere with any movements. I use it for fishing and it doesn't interfere in any way. The storage bag is heavy mesh I attached it to my fish finder case so it is always available when I go to the boat. Hope this helps.

Nope. Not ASA approved, and is not approved for USSSA either, unless you get one with the new stamp...
