  Comments:
Changing xref to the most-common katakana form.  Happy to keep the kanji/japanese term as the nexus for all the others, although one could argue on the numbers that ライフジャケット should have this role.

Amazon heading is:
船検用品
ライフジャケット・フローティングベスト
(that is the category you will land in if you search for 救命胴衣)

Interesting that wikipedia doesn't know about フローティングベスト (not just the life vest article, it appears nowhere).

All searches on Mercari return what you'd expect, except that "フローティングベスト" seems to lean toward "tactical"/"utility"/"sportsman"-looking vests. Perhaps fisherman focused.
