The Kent 100100-200-002-12 is an orange Type I life jacket in a collar style, USCG approved and sized for children under 90 lb. 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
Rated Type I and sized for children under 90 lb, this Kent jacket can turn an unconscious wearer to upright or slightly backward. It is built around survival in rough water, with reflectors on the orange fabric to help rescuers find a child.
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.
