[ Have some how ended up with a shepherd that LOVES to swim. Bailey will race you to the water, jump off a still moving boat and loves to synchronize swim. The ease and speed with which he can be suited up for the water makes this the ideal vest for him. Love the full wrap flotation this vest offers. The additional buoyancy gives him great confidence in the jump. So happy overall fit, quality of materials and again the speedy on.( Can not stress enough the ease of the suit up!) Oh also love the leash attachment for those emergency potty stops when he drinks the whole lake.

[ I bought a cheaper life vest and it fit very poorly. I returned it and bought these and I ’ m so happy I did. My dogs are so much safer and more Comfortable with the fit of these vests! Some things are worth the money!

5 liny
[ Makes my pittie look like a paddleboard star. She's not water savy and fell in a couple times. This tank kept afloat and the handle made it easy to pull her back up onboard. Fits great, no rubbing areas.

5 Marf
[ I bought medium for my 65 lb sheepadoodle. I have owned several past versions and appreciated the update on this. It is a slimmer profile, although some reviewers claim it's not as bouyant, it worked well for our purposes I would have preferred the original red currant color be kept over time to allow gear to retrofit better.

5 Binsfeldsl24
[ I have tripod t- rex arm bully. He is a lover of the water but has troubles since he is unbalanced due to his arm. He has recently taken up paddle boarding and this product was everything he needed! So supportive and the best out there! I am a firm believer in ruff wear and also purchase their harnesses, I wouldnt recommend any other brand!

I wanted a new life jacket for our fishing boat, as I am not really a swimmer and we are on the water usually at least two times a week during boating weather. This is cut for a woman, so it fits better than others I have worn, and it was very reasonably priced. It has a thin back and is n't super bulky. I also like the shoulder area and the sides on this jacket, which offer greater freedom of movement.

[ I am relatively new to kayaking, so last year I hired a professional instructor for myself and my wife. Meeting up with him again this year on a separate outing, he remarked upon seeing my Stohlquist Fisherman PFD for the first time that it was a wise choice for both safety and mobility. I am greatly enjoying the feeling of safety and the comfort of not being restricted in my movements while kayaking.

5 Larry
1st PFD. The Fisherman has more adjustment straps to get a snug fit and the is more comfortable than the other comparable PFDs I tried on. The rigidity of the 2 front zippered pockets is also a plus, IMO, over the other comparable PFDs because they act as trays to set gear on when making fishing setup adjustemnts. However, some of the other comparable PFDs seem to have more gear storage options/pockets than the Fisherman but comfort and adjustment was more important to me than gear storage volume. Plus, more gear in and on the PDF equals more weight which may not be a good thing in an emergency situation whilst on a lake or river.

The Old Town Lure Angler PFD is a must- have for any kayak angler! The comfort is outstanding. The storage pockets are incredibly useful, keeping essentials like pliers and my phone within easy reach. I never hit the water without mine; it ’s a perfect blend of safety, convenience, and functionality. Highly recommend!

I 've been using this life jacket for the last 2 years. Really love the storage space for all your gear such as phone, emergency whistle, ChapStick, Keys, Air pods etc. also plenty of rings to attach phone tether, motor kill switch. Super comfortable for all day use.

5 flbasspaddler
If you are looking for a great PFD, then look no further than the Lure Angler 2 PFD from Old Town. This PFD is very comfortable to wear and has all the characteristics one would want from a vest style PFD. The pockets are large enough to hold a larger cell phone and there is plenty of places to keep your important gear( Whistle, Clippers, etc..) close at hand.

Ive utilized the Lure Angler 2 PFD for the last 4 years. It has plenty of storage for quick access gear IE hooks, weights, phone etc. It is light weight, breathable and has plenty of adjustment for any size angler. The design allows for comfortable seating while on Old Town kayaks. I would recommend this PFD to any angler.

I have been nervous about buying a life vest because I do n't know what size I needed. I asked one of your employees he was working in the bicycle section. He ended up being the right guy to ask for help with the life vest. He used to work for the coast guard. He told me I picked the right vest for what I wanted it for and it was the right fit. I love the colors and the fit of this life vest.

5 Kayak25
I really like the open sides to help keep me cooler. I also like the zippered pockets. Many paddling vests do not have this feature.

5 Essie M
As an avid dragon boat and outrigger canoe paddler, safety is important. It came to my attention my prior PFD was too large to be effective in case of emergency. I found not one, but three different XS vests to choose from, and went with the mid- priced Onyx Airspan Breeze. It's perfect! An added bonus is the pockets are actually usable! I had expected them to be too small, but they are more than roomy enough for keys, wallet, small phone, etc., which I slip in after bagging in plastic, just to be sure they stay dry. Overall, I 'm VERY HAPPY with this purchase and highly recommend this vest, especially if you are looking for one that comes in a size that is safe and effective for those of us smaller in stature( 5' tall& 95 lbs). Well done, Onyx!

[ I got the vest for my 6 Year daughter. She weighs 60lbs now and the vest fits her perfectly. It ’s very well made, fabric is bit thin but colors make it stand out. You can adjust the straps to make the vest fit better. At first it was a bit hard to adjust the straps but once it is loose it ’s no problem. My daughter seemed to be pretty comfortable in it and wore it all the time while in pool. Definitely a great item to have when boating, swimming in the open water or pools.

[ With summer here and going to the beach, lake and pools a good life vest is a must. This one is great quality and seems like it will last a very long time as long as it ’s taken care of and properly stored. It fits really good and the straps are very easy to adjust. When I ’ m the water this one stays put like it should and keeps your little one afloat. I love the color because it makes spotting it very easy.

5 JLCrumley
[ We recently bought a home with a pool. Safety was first on my mind with little kiddos around the pool, especially my toddler. This life jacket gives me piece of mind. It fit her snuggly. You can adjust the straps to ensure it fits properly. She thinks she ’s the coolest baby around when wearing it! Even I let go of her in the water to see how she would float, it kept her upright and her face away from the water. The life jacket bobs right up when submerged in the water. A must buy for your kiddo ’s safety around the water!!
