Abstract
A life jacket of the type made from a foam buoyant material includes a transversely disposed yoke member having parallel ends which extend from the upper ends of two symmetrically opposed front panels. A body strap and a unique snap and D-ring assembly are also provided. The life jacket provides the wearer a more comfortable position at which to float while more effectively utilizing the buoyancy of the life jacket.
