The Kent 100100-200-004-12 is an orange Type I life jacket in a collar style, approved by the USCG and sized for adults of 75 lb and over. It is made for extended survival in rough water where help may be slow to arrive, and it is required aboard commercial craft. It can turn an unconscious wearer toward upright or slightly backward in the water. Reflectors on the bright orange fabric help people spot it, and an attachment loop is provided for a safety light.
Our take
The Type I rating on this collar-style Kent jacket means it is made for long survival in rough water, and it can turn an unconscious wearer to upright or slightly backward. Adult fit starts at 75 lb, and it is required on commercial craft.
From our buying guide
US rules count Coast Guard-approved jackets. One approved only to European or ISO standards doesn't meet the US carriage rules, however good it is.
Check before you buy:
- The approval number is on the label, and the jacket fits you as that label marks.
- You're getting the US version, since some jackets are sold in two.
- If it's Level 50, it only counts toward what you must carry when it's worn.
