Taylor Made Life Rings: 20, 24 & 30-Inch Size and Shell Guide
Taylor Made manufactures throwable life rings in 20-, 24- and 30-inch sizes, with two distinct outer constructions. Compare the vinyl-coated foam models and hard-shell models by part number, colour, grab-line arrangement and listed buoyancy before choosing equipment for a boat or dock.
Vinyl-coated foam or hard polyethylene shell?
Vinyl skin · 360 / 361 / 364
The manufacturer's vinyl-coated foam series has a resilient outer skin that accepts lettering and markings. These examples use a white grab line, including the orange 364 model.
Hard shell · 567 / 569 / 568 / 570
The polyethylene-shell series has a rigid exterior over buoyant foam. White versions have white grab lines; the orange versions listed here have black grab lines.

Safety equipment selection: A life ring is a throwable flotation device, not a substitute for a properly fitted, wearable life jacket. Check the product's actual approval label, condition and required diameter for the vessel and jurisdiction. Do not assume every model or older item meets a particular commercial or Canadian carriage requirement.
Before choosing a life ring for the boat or dock
- Check whether the use calls for a 20-, 24- or 30-inch throwable ring. Different vessels and locations may have specific regulatory requirements.
- Choose the correct exterior: paintable vinyl-coated foam for the listed 360-series models or a rigid polyethylene shell for the listed 567/568/569/570 family.
- Compare the grab-line colour and mounting location. Keep the ring conspicuous, accessible and clear of obstructions.
- Follow the applicable authority's requirements for approvals, mounting, markings and inspection intervals rather than selecting by size alone.
- Inspect the actual approval marking and the individual product details before placing the ring into rescue service.
