Good God how hard would it be? 01 19 2019
To make a life preserver coat that looks like a normal coat but is filled with high impact eva foam pieces/ peanuts?
In fact one would believe that if you calculated the buoyancy displacement of a foam workshop mat then you matched it to your own weight on the scale...then you took a standard puff jacket you could buy after Christmas for $14. Make a slide on the side where the seam is pull that stuff out, pack it with the EVA high impact foam. Discretely sew up that seam again and not only would you have a winter jacket but you would have a life preserver jacket.
Sure it wouldn't be U.S. Coast Gaurd Approved because it didn't go through that process. But the point being is that you should always have the appropriate amount of USCGA jackets in your boat anyway.
And indeed make that fabric of a high enough strength and give it a few buckle straps on the front in addition to the zipper and it would likely be coast guard approved to sell if you submitted it for such a study on a commercial scale. And to be honest I don't know what the criteria are for that.
But it would just seem like a good all around idea. The foam in there would stop the wind completely! Such a jacket could even have a small layer of the foam as a wind stopper and the rest filled with those foam pieces?
And perhaps a company could make foam inserts that look exactly how how a layer on a puff jacket puffs out?
Another point being that foam is so cheap it would make a great winter jacket?
Have kids that play around a river or lake or ocean or swimming pool? Wearing that jacket as an everyday jacket might save their life?
