[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this PFD for all of the greenhorns and guests I run down the river. Easy to don/doff, adjust and is comfortable. No unnecessary bells and whistles just pure PFD.

High Quality And Super Safe
Our kid wanted this style of life jacket so he had more flexibility and arm movement for paddle sports. It fits perfect and worked great for his needs.

Worked Fine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only used it one trip on my drift boat. Fortunately didn’t have to test it out to see if I floated or not. I had good range of motion to row and cast. Only problem I noticed was my hand would rub on the nylon buckle strap while rowing. Which was a little uncomfortable. I put on sun protection gloves and it didn’t bother me after that.

Nice Pfd For The Price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I have NRS Ion and Siren PFDs that we use for Hobie Cat Sailing. We wanted to get a spare PFD for when we have a guest. The Vapor has the same cut as the Ion and Siren (incidentally the Ion and Siren are the same jacket with the Siren just branded to be a women's model) with a few less features. The main difference is that the outer shell is a different material (I think the Ion/Siren are a rip-stop material while the Vapor is not), the I/S have a pocket on the front and a partial mesh lining. The one feature that we do miss on the Vapor is that the I/S have a pocket to tuck the excess shoulder straps in.

Comfortable Floating Jacket
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore it once during a paddle board lesson. It snuggly fit while the upper part of sleeves do not interfere with my arm movement. It is a good design and light weight, though I wish it has a pocket.

Low Profile
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was able to use it this past weekend while paddle boarding and it was comfortable to have on. My husband and I both forgot we had it on through out the day. Does not get in the way of paddling and comfortable when worn over a sun shirt.

Awesome Pfd
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super simple, highly functional, incredibly comfortable PFD. I did lots of research before buying this one and I'm glad I did. It's perfect for paddling, sailing, and wrangling kids in boats. Love it!

You Get Exactly What You Pay For, & That's Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Is this NRS's coolest looking life jacket? No. You want a ninja for that. Can it handle rapids? Yes. It's a great PFD for the price, and you get that NRS quality that makes it worth the extra bucks. Save some money on the looks, but get something that will save your life.

Comfortable Jacket
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked well and wasn't too constricting for paddle boarding. I even did some yoga and it wasn't a bother to have the vest on. I would recommend.

Roomy Yet Snug!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it! It always stays in place, other ones I’ve had tend to ride up which can be quite bothersome. It’s snug (adjustable) on my body but gives my arms plenty of room for all the movement needed the paddle the yak! Only thing I wish is that it had a pocket..

Super Comfy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable while kayaking! Big armholes for mobility and airflow to keep you cool. When sitting back, it was also a nice back rest cushion.

Great Pfd That Allows A Lot Of Movement
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a petite female and wanted a pfd that wouldn’t be bulky but also not overpriced. This fits great and allows plenty of arm movement while kayaking or SUP. I bought the smallest size and I’m happy with it.

Great Pfd Fitting All Needs Yet Still Able To Move
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great PFD fitting all needs yet still able to move. Also has great front kangaroo pocket! While this is an over the head PFD, it has 2 buckles on the side to fully open one end and very adjustable.
