Discard and replace it - do not attempt to fix it
If you have a torn personal flotation device (PFD), you should first assess the extent of the damage. If the tear is minor and located in a non-critical area, you may be able to repair it using a PFD repair kit or strong waterproof adhesive. However, if the tear compromises the PFD's integrity or buoyancy, it’s best to replace it entirely to ensure safety while boating or engaging in water activities. Always prioritize safety and check the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and repairs.
