Hello,

*Step Toward Eliminating Confusion and Introduction of New Designs*.

No need to read the lengthy article linked below but it states that the 
CG labels for the different types of life jackets (PFDs) nomenclatures 
used in the United States will soon go away.  This should lead to more 
comfortable jackets which should promote more use than the cumbersome 
and uncomfortable jackets available now but often not worn when needed.

Expect some serious design competition and new innovations to hit the 
market in the near future.

The United States is the only place where the confusing type I, II, III, 
IV, V categories are used.

Tom T.
