Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Our twelve year old uses it for his life jacket while sailing. He likes the large pocket in the front and the fact that it is comfortable. I like the bright color, so I can see him in the distance, the fact that it is adjustable, so there is room for him to grow and the fact that he likes it, so I know he will wear it!

entry into jacket not comfortable

By HikeVA from Charlottesville, VA on 06/10/2009

Pros:
Durable, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Boating, Paddling
Describe Yourself:
Recreational User
Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I didn't realize until I tried how uncomfortable it is to get in and out of this jacket overhead since the zipper is a cross-the-chest zipper. I also was expecting it to be much more comfortable for the price. I use a cheap entry-level jacket that isn't any less comfortable. I'm returning it.

This vest is very versitile- it zips in the front or can be taken off over the head. It has multiple adjustment loops and even for a small girl like me fits snuggly and allows unrivaled ease of movement with kayaking.

I bought one of these vests last year for my daughter and she loved it. It was comfortable and did not chafe or ride up while in the kayak or canue. This year I bought one for my son too.

Great Price, Value and Fit

By Can't Wait for warmer weather paddler from Mpls, MN on 04/29/2009

Pros:
Comfortable, Durable, Good Ventilation, Lightweight
Cons:
May rub against the neck
Best Uses:
Paddling
Describe Yourself:
Recreational User
Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Haven't used it yet, but really like the fit and style. Like the side zipper as it keeps it from bulging out in the middle. Also like the open sides. I returned a PFD from another vendor because of the bulk. The only con is the straps might rub against the neck until used a bit. Great price and value.

Chest Size:

Good vest. Good value. Extremely comfortable and very adjustable. Front pocket and gear ring is very useful. This vest is designed for the paddler mainly since it sits high on the torso to allow for kayak waist bands.

Nice fit. Good Value and Features

Describe Yourself:
Aggressive Rider
Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very nice and good value. Some may find that the shoulder straps fit too close to the neck. It fits high enough in the back to make room for a backband and spray skirt. The large front pocket it nice.
