What is a pouch type life jacket?

  1. A fanny pack that inflates to a vest

  2. A waterproof container for storing valuables

  3. A special jacket for carrying pouches

  4. A non-inflatable floating device

The correct answer is: A fanny pack that inflates to a vest

A pouch type life jacket is a type of life jacket that is designed to be compact and easily transportable. It is different from other types of life jackets because it comes in a compact pouch that inflates to become a full vest when needed. This is different from option B, because it is not just a waterproof container for storing valuables, but an actual life-saving device. Option C is incorrect because it is not meant for carrying pouches, but rather for providing buoyancy in water. Option D is also incorrect because it mentions a non-inflatable design, whereas a pouch type life jacket is specifically designed to be inflated when needed.
