Great product well made. Worked perfect for paddling a dragonboat.

Bought this for my wife, she loves it! Fits well and is comfy. You know, happy wife, happy life. That means more river time!

5 CaverDave
[ This vest is comfortable and easy to paddle in. I 've not had to test it yet but I think it 'll keep me afloat if I get dumped out of my boat. I must say, I really like this vest and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

5 Jason
[ My wife and I just recently purchased an inflatable kayak and were looking for a set of pfd ’s. After an extensive search, both online and in retail stores, we decided on purchasing a pair of these. We were not disappointed!! The price was right, the quality great and they look and feel nice as well. My wife is still getting used to the side entry( as opposed to a front zip or clip) but has come to appreciate them not being in front of her where they might occasionally snag on something. Overall, we are completely satisfied with all aspects of this item!!

5 Katiebird
[ I ’ ve tried countless different PFDs over the years.... and this one is the greatest! It ’s so comfortable, while wearing it I feel like I ’ m snuggled up in a soft blanket by the camp fire. It has a big a** zipper pocket for all of my loose goods, and hand warmer pockets! It ’s great, I ’ m glad that I own one.

[ I am so happy that I got this. It's always hard to find life jackets that fit well and do n't ride up. This one is perfect! It fits my toddler nice and snug, with room to grow still too. The strap that goes between his legs is easily adjustable to fit him snug so it stays in place. He seemed to be very comfortable in it too, and not the least bit bothered that he was wearing it. Overall a very well made life jacket!

5 Liner87
[ Needed a life vest for my 2 year old and this one works great. The strap that goes between the legs prevents it from riding up and squishing his little face. It also sits high enough where most of his weight is below the vest meaning it does n't tip his face into the water if they are trying to learn to swim for themselves.

5 ClarkeW2
[ This is perfect. My 3 year old has outgrown his and we were looking for another. Has the strap for between the legs which is necessary for smaller children. Not too big and bulky so he can still move around freely. Great product!

5 kat77
[ I received this a about a week ago, I wanted this for my 2- year- old grand- daughter. She loves swimming and go into our pool and the beaches. We just tried this vest yesterday at the beach and it was perfect. It fit her perfect and it does the job. The quality of the vest is made very good and will last. We are very happy with the vest, and I highly recommend it, if you are looking for one.

5 Pickymom
[ The vest fits my 40 lbs five year old perfectly. I especially like the fact that it is adjustable as my child grows. It is lightweight and does not take up much space. Overall, it is well made child vest.

5 Marla taking my life back
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!

5 Eric801
I run a busy rental outfit. Our guests come in all shapes and sizes. The Outfitter Universal is our go to pfd. It fits pretty much all adults the big ones down to the 125 pounders. The 6 adjustable straps are long enabling us to fit the bigger guests and they cinch down to smaller chests( 125 pound). One of the great uses of the 6 adjustable straps is our guest bodies often are not the athletic types. Some are big up top, some big in the middle and some are big down lower. The 6 straps allow proper fit no matter where the space is needed. Another plus to the Outfitter Universal is it's easy to get the paddler some ventilation on hot days. The jacket rides well on the body allowing for day long comfortable paddling. We can buy any pfd and continue to use 150 of the Outfitter Universal. Hope you check them out. Oh, and, for the private boat owner that has a variety of people using their boat this is a great choice for pfd as they will fit most all of them properly meaning they are more likely to wear it. You have the confidence that if they do go for a swim they will be floating properly. Cheers, River of Golden Dreams, Whistler BC Canada

[ 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!!

This is the same PFD used and strongly endorsed by a local west coast kayak shop. It was ordered on line 8- 29- 15, given an ETA 9- 4 to 9- 11, and received at rural Post Office 9- 5- 15( the free shipping on orders over$ 25. 00 was a bonus). Sizing( L/XL) is good and very adjustable. Flotation support is excellent for 215 pound male. Straps, buckles, zipper are sturdy and lock up. Design is quite comfortable with no choking or chafing over 3. 5 hour paddle. The Charcoal/Kiwi was ordered which is not only quite visible, but also smart looking for those paddlers with an interest in style. Of course life saving flotation support is the primary consideration, followed by paddling comfort. This PFD is excellent in both categories. On line ordering, email follow ups, shipment tracking, and package invoicing were all excellent.

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 use this for kayaking and paddle boarding and it's more comfortable than a standard life jacket because there is no bulk on the sides.

i used this vest with a kayak and it fits very nicely and is comfortable when sitting and paddling. I have not used the camera mount but that is a neat feature.

I bought this about a month ago I 've used it a few times since then have n't attached a go pro to us yet but overall fit is nice, like the pocket to store my phone while I 'm kayaking. Fit is good bulkier in the front than it looks in the picture but still not bad.

Although not a fan of the bulkyness of any life vest. I choose this one because if I knock myself out with my paddle I would not be able to pull the cord on the other. But I am thinking of getting one of the self inflating ones for days I ’ m with people:)

[ 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.
