<h2><br />How to choose a life jacket</h2>
<p>To choose the right life jacket, you should take into account the navigation area, the user’s weight, the type of boat and the activity you are going to carry out. For regular recreational boating, 150N models are one of the most popular options; for zone 1 navigation, a 275N life jacket is recommended.</p>
<p>It is also worth considering whether you prefer a foam life jacket, which is always buoyant, or an automatic inflatable life jacket, which is more comfortable to wear during long passages.</p>
<h2>Main life jacket brands</h2>

<h2>Frequently asked questions about life jackets</h2>
<h3>Is it mandatory to carry a life jacket on a boat?</h3>
<p>Yes. Recreational boats must carry at least <strong>one life jacket for each person on board</strong>. In addition, children and babies must have life jackets suitable for their weight and size.</p>
<h3>What life jacket do I need to sail in Spain?</h3>
<p>It depends on the navigation area. As a reference, the regulations establish a minimum buoyancy of <strong>275N for zone 1</strong>, <strong>150N for zones 2, 3 and 4</strong>, and <strong>100N for zones 5, 6 and 7</strong>.</p>
<h3>What is the difference between a 150N and a 275N life jacket?</h3>
<p>A <strong>150N</strong> life jacket is commonly used in recreational boating and coastal or moderate offshore sailing. A <strong>275N</strong> life jacket provides greater buoyancy and is designed for ocean navigation, zone 1 or more demanding conditions.</p>
<h3>Is an automatic life jacket better than a foam one?</h3>
<p>An automatic life jacket is more comfortable to wear for many hours because it inflates on contact with water. A foam life jacket provides permanent buoyancy and does not require an inflation system, making it a simple and durable option.</p>
<h3>What life jacket should a child use?</h3>
<p>Children and babies should always use a <strong>children’s life jacket</strong> adapted to their weight, size and build. Adult life jackets are not recommended for minors.</p>
<h3>How often should an inflatable life jacket be serviced?</h3>
<p>Inflatable life jackets should be serviced according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, checking the condition of the cylinder, trigger mechanism, air chamber and seams.</p>
