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.

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.

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!

Bought this product for my wife for kayaking as I have the same product in larger size. The vest allows for great mobility while paddling as well as casting when fishing. Pockets are a nice bonus.

[ 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.

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.

BUT.......... they run small.... im 5' 1 and 130lbs and I took an l/xl... that was interesting.... of all the paddle life vests, this was far the best... I bought in both colors.

Eagle Guy
I bought this for a 60ish mile canoe trip some 20 or so of my friends and I do every year. I 've never taken a PFD on this trip in previous years because it's typically low water. But we had gotten a boatload( see what I did there) of rain and the water was raging so I thought I should pick one up in a hurry. This was a rush buy, but it turned out to be far more comfortable than I had imagined. I hardly noticed I was wearing it even after having it on for 10+ hours a day. The pockets make it very convenient to have smaller items readily accessible on my chest. Unfortunately, on day 3 during a moderate rescue, I left the jacket on the river bank and finished the trip without it. And although this would n't be my first choice for white water, I will still buy another one because I liked it so much.

I use this while fishing in my Yak. Comfortable and stows well behind the seat. A bit pricey for what it is but the features justify the cost I guess.

I have n't been in the water with it yet, but it fit well( I ordered a Large, I 'm 5' 10 '' tall and weigh 150 lbs) and felt comfortable. I intend to mostly use it for fishing from a fishing float tube or standing in water fly fishing wearing chest waders and it 'll work great for those purposes. Found the zipper to be a little bit difficult to get started( the padding down at the bottom obstructs the zipper a little bit but it works OK once you get it started. Nice pockets, but as a fisherman I could always use more!). Neither of those issues made me rate it below five stars. I looked around on other sites and this was the best PFD I could find after doing some research.

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.

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.
