Abstract
A U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device for persons engaged in sport activities. The personal flotation device includes a body formed from a series of body panels, or sections, formed from a fabric covered soft foam flotation material. Elastic armhole periphery members are attached about the armholes of the PFD intend to engage the shoulders and upper arms of the wearer. The armhole periphery members are formed from an elastic, stretchable material so as to enable the armhole periphery members to flex and conform to the shoulders and upper arms of the wearer as the arms, shoulders, and upper torso of the wearer move while the wearer performs water sport activities. This allows the PFD to move and conform to the body of the wearer for enhanced comfort and increased ability of the wearer.
