WHAT IS AN INFLATABLE PFD? While traditional PFDs are inherently buoyant, inflatable PFDs, rely entirely on inflation for buoyancy. Uninflated, the Inflatable PFD is a comfortable slim collar that can be inflated at any time with a 33-gram CO gas cylinder. The Inflatable PFD is designed to offer maximum 2 mobility with minimum bulk. The Inflatable PFD (MD3081 and MD3082) can be inflated either manually by jerking a pull-tab, or orally (by mouth). The Inflatable PFD (MD3083 and MD3084) can
