Abstract
A life vest of the inflatable type is disclosed in which the inflation cell or cells are combined with a back panel and a single-attachment, single-adjustment, waist strap. The single-attachment waist strap may be permanent, or alternatively separable. The waist strap is stitched or otherwise non-movably connected to the inflatable cell or cells, and has a sliding connection to the back panel, for self-adjustability when tightened about the waist of the user, in a preferred embodiment.
