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 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.

[ Bought 2 vests a couple months back and they provided everything I needed for a fishing raft. Simple and easily adjustable. Also, I was given a helpful hint that the vest is the same size if it is a small or a Extra large. Only difference is the length of the straps. I got the extra large so I could accommodate a bunch of different size friends. I am 5'10 '' and 160 lbs and the extra large fits just fine.

We bought 3 of these O ’ Brien life jackets in the Summer of ‘ 23 and they were so extremely comfortable, when we needed to replace more life jackets this Summer, our choice was a no brainer. We came back for 2 more this Summer with no hesitation.

5 Lacey513
This is so pretty and streamlined. Dare I say sexy, even? My true size recommendation was small. It ’s very snug. I probably should have gone with a medium but I can make it work. For the record I am 5 ’ 5 122 lbs with a 36 B bra size. If I had a bigger chest no way would this fit I really do love the design and material. It ’s great the way the straps are barely noticeable. I hope they make more of these in lighter colors, but the straps need to match like these do and I would buy more.

[ Bought 2 of these for my 2 y/o and 5 y/o and it fits great on both kids. Took it out to the lake and both the kids flipped the inflatable raft and took a dip in the lake. Worked just as expected and kept the kids floating upright until we could get them back high n dry in the boat. They 're not too bulky either which is a plus but saftey wise give it a A+.

5 Mike
[ Only had a chance to take the kids out once so far, but they love their new PFD's. Much safer than puddle jumpers and they get to look like grown ups
