Depends - on where and who.
There are three basic types in common use:#
The 50N foam vest - a swim assistance device - does not turn the victim face up
The 150N Inflatable - Turns Victim face up - even if unconscious
The 250N Offshore job (ignore these)
Lot of folk like the 150N inflatables 'cos they are small, light and cool even on a hot day - the big disadvantage is that - once they are inflated - self rescue (climbing back into a boat) becomes VERY difficult.
