Yoke Life Preserver

A yoke life preserver, also known as a yoke-style life jacket or life vest, is a type of personal flotation device (PFD) designed to keep a person afloat in water. It is called a "yoke" because it typically has a y-shaped design that goes over the shoulders and around the neck, resembling the shape of a yoke used to harness animals.

Yoke life preservers are commonly used in various water activities such as boating, kayaking, fishing, and water sports. They are designed to provide buoyancy and keep the wearer's head above water, allowing them to breathe and stay afloat in case of an emergency or accidental immersion in water.

These life preservers are typically made of durable and buoyant materials such as foam or inflatable chambers. They often have adjustable straps or buckles to ensure a secure and comfortable fit on the wearer. Yoke life preservers also usually have reflective strips or bright colors for increased visibility in the water, making it easier for rescuers to locate the wearer.

It is important to note that yoke life preservers should be properly fitted and worn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Regular maintenance and inspection of the life preserver are also essential to ensure its effectiveness and reliability in emergency situations.
