How To Rearm & Repack Your Inflatable Life Jacket/PFD | BoatUS

There's no question that inflatable life jackets are the lightest and most comfortable personal flotation devices to wear while boating. But what happens if it inflates -- either accidentally or necessary? No problem! You can rearm and repack it. BoatUS Magazine's Lenny Rudow shows you step by step how to rearm and repack an inflatable PFD. Some models are easier than others, but most aren't that difficult to rearm and repack if you understand the general steps and how they work.
