live jacket

Live jackets are commonly made from polyester (including 100% polyester shells and polyester linings) and cotton blends (for example, 75% cotton / 25% polyester).

Most live jackets are offered in women's sizes with regular or classic fits; at least one listing includes women's plus sizing.

Features include insulated quilted puffer cores, micro-fleece inner shells, reflective linings, and some listings noting insulation weights (e.g., over 400g) and comfort ratings down to –20°F.

Listings commonly mention water-resistant or water-repellent outer shells and wind-resistant or windproof constructions; some also include breathable softshell panels for moisture evaporation.

Options include classic collars (e.g., baseball and traditional collars), attached or drawstring hoods, and some listings with zip-off hoods.

Styles include pullovers and zip-fronts, at-hip and longline lengths, and a mix of sporty baseball-collar, hooded, and longline denim silhouettes.
