I purchased this PFD for my On- Water fishing. It was highly recommended for its dependability and non- restrictive fit. Have n't had to use it yet( thank God), but I feel very confident in my belief that it 'll work when needed. Fingers crossed!!!

I recently purchased after a recommendation from my my cardiologist visit. Love it. Used last week kayaking. Very comfortable. Like that it is lightweight.

PROS: Light& Comfy), Easily converts from auto to manual. Straw allows easy add and release of a little or a lot of air, as desired. Gram weight of CO2 cylinder( 24g) is TSA compliant for flying( must be 28g or less& go in carry- on, not checked). Make sure you 're reading GRAM and not mLiter on package. CONS: If inflated at all, the vest rides up a bit when I 'm vertical. I 'll devise webbing loops to go around thighs and connect to waist strap to improve. We had no confidence in the cheaper straw- operated vests that baked in our attic for 8 years. This year, being 57 and 67 y. o. and wanting to go further out, we upgraded. This is only vest I found with 1) cylinder small enough for TSA- rules AND 2) switches from auto to manual AND 3) has a straw. Rearming kit sold at Dicks too, but must be picked- up in store( maybe Amazon's different). It includes new CO2 cylinder, green Ready Clip, and yellow Bobbin( bobbin is needed in auto mode, because it dissolves when wet to trigger inflation). Clear and precise written instructions were all I needed to convert to manual. As to cost;$ 120 is worth it, AND in manual mode, I do n't think I ’ ll need to rearm unless I pull the 'inflate' tab.( On a fun note, inflate tab hanging at waist is labelled JERK, and it, so I ’ m essentially wearing a JERK name tag;-)) I ca n't speak to how easily it auto- inflates, but we ’ re intentionally submerging, so we don ’ t want auto- trigger. USCG compliance – Re: others ’ comments about whether auto- inflates are coastguard compliant. THEY ARE, with the proviso that wearer must take extra steps to inspect the PFD( personal flotation device) for soundness, be capable of operating it( age and cognitive ability) and use in appropriate situations where they 're likely to remain conscious so that can ensure they are head up- face up. // Snorkeling is one of those okay times. // I would not use in manual mode if I thought I might hit my head and not be able to pull cord( e. g., white- water rafting). For that I 'd choose a bulky 'inherently buoyant' device. Super- pleased with my purchase. Went out farther than ever this a. m. and saw Sea Turtles with hubby.:-)

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 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.

[ 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.

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.
