1) First, put on your spray skirt. Most of
our spray skirts will have suspender-like shoulder straps.
Straighten and separate the straps, then step into the skirt
with the largest section in front of you. Make sure the grab
look is in front and up. The skirt body will come up just
below your chest. Take up the slack in the shoulder straps so
that the skirt hangs properly. Tighten the skirt
drawstring. |
2) Select a PFD in your general size range
(XS, S/M, L, XL). If the PFD of your size seems tight, loosen
the straps on either side. Once on, zip up the front. Note the
safety whistle on the zipper. If the whistle is missing, tell
your trip leader. |

3) Tighten the straps on either side of
your PFD. |
4) Your PFD is on properly when it is both
comfortable and snug. Comfortable so that you can breathe and
move without feeling constricted and snug enough that it does
not shift upward more than an inch or so when you tug up on
the shoulder straps (of the PFD). |
