FMany boaters are hesitant to do more to care for a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) than occasionally spraying it down with water. This streamlined approach is often due to a fear of damaging the life jacket. But the truth is that proper cleaning actually helps maintain the integrity of a life jacket and can extend its life.

But many waterfowl hunters, whose perspective only covers the last 30 years or so, might have a hard time believing it wasn't always that way.
