I have the one with the hydrostatic inflator and the label clearly states that it is type 2. But, he told me that all inflatables must be worn to count if you don't have foam vest aboard. I normally fish alone most times, but this time I had my girlfriend along. So, he said technically I was one PFD short. He was super nice about it
