  • Side entry life vest
    Patent number: 5549495
    Abstract: A side entry life vest has buckles disposed on the ventral panel and belts retained in horizontal tubes formed in the dorsal panel. The likelihood that a wearer may don the vest backwards is minimized because the buckles would be beyond the person's comfortable reach, and the person would immediately sense that the vest is backwards. The belts extend substantially the entire width of the dorsal panel and both maximize belt retention strength and provide a flat area on which to display a sponsor's name, logo or other information.
