"Inflatable Flotation Devices
There are a wide variety of inflatable life jackets available. To be accepted as one of the required life jackets on board, the device must have a Coast Guard approval stamp on it. If it is approved as a Type V, it must be worn to be accepted. Inflatable devices of any kind are not acceptable for persons less than 16 years old or for personal watercraft operation. "</p>

If you aren't wearing your Type V then you must also have a Type I, II or III in order to be legal.</p>
Of course you must also have a Type IV for boats 16 feet and over.
