  • Quality and Comfort
Color: Glacier Blue Size: Medium/Large
Size M/L fits my stature 5’9 and Wt. 163#. Love the light, bright turquoise color, and the big pocket on the front, just the right amount of straps that adjust easily, plus for a piece of equipment that needs to be tight or snug across the chest/torso it’s comfortable. At least it seems to be working for a size 38, CD chest. I also wore it in the pool to test it and when tightened correctly it doesn’t raise up around the face (nice wide shoulder straps) and it definitely kept me on top of the water. I could not dive down but a couple inches so I feel like this will save you and keep you on top of the open water. ... show more

  • Hallelujah, it fits big boobs!
Color: Eggplant Size: Large/X-Large
If you are reading this, you understand the struggle. This PFD in L/XL actually fits--comfortably--a 40K bust. Yes, you can paddle in it. Your arms have excellent freedom of motion with no rubbing or chafing in the pits or upper arms when paddling a canoe or a kayak. But yes, it makes you look huge in the front. Ah well, can't win on everything. Just so happy to have found a PFD that *actually* fits comfortably! Shoulder and side adjusters help to get a personalized fit. Pockets are moderately useful for keys and a small cell phone, but not a game changer. Seems nice and durable with well sewn seams and high quality materials, but I've only had it for a month, so time will tell. The embroidered flower on the back is a nice touch. ... show more

  • Excellent PFD
Color: Glacier Blue Size: Large/X-Large
Perfect PFD. First women specific I’ve ever owned and I ordered a second one while they are in stock. I took a very dangerous swim in a class V rapid that could have easily had a different outcome. By the time I self rescued, I was spent and had to be completely dead hauled into the boat by my straps. The floatation was standard for this level vest, if you can’t self rescue buy something else, as it doesn’t auto face up. But I didn’t doubt the buoyancy in the slightest as I did have to swim a hole and didn’t question it before I took the plunge. But for getting my butt completely lifted by the straps it was so comfortable and none of the slippage you get with a gender neutral vest. Wish the front pocket was a bit larger, but I can fit a small fry bag in it. Nice fit with the astral rescue belt. ... show more

  • Fit is perfect
Color: Glacier Blue Size: Small/Medium
Doesn’t keep your head out of the water…. Don’t lose consciousness when wearing this…. I didn’t pay enough attention when reading the description.

  • My second Layla
Color: Glacier Blue Size: Medium/Large
I bought my first one from REI as a result of a great conversation with one of their employees - she used to crew. I bought a second one so I don't have to put on a wet vest on day 2 of trips. I am 6' tall, wear a size 12, moderately chesty and this vest is so comfy after 17 miles of Kayaking. No under arm rub. I get out for a break and forget I am wearing it. It has a couple of nicely placed pockets. And it is pretty. I have the purple and the teal/blue one. I am really happy with these life jackets. ... show more

  • you will not be disappointed with this pfd
Color: Eggplant Size: Medium/Large
If you were a fan of the Lotus Designs Lola pfd (original model), you will not be disappointed with this pfd! I knew the instant I tried it on in my living room that I'd found the perfect replacement for my 15 year old Lotus (the fact that this was designed by the same owners, probably helps). In fact, I think I might like this one more. I tried a cheaper replacement first, which had nylon webbing that rubbed and chaffed my neck and was so bulky it interfered with my paddling. This model cinches down enough so there's no rubbing at all...the materials all seem pretty soft, so even if there was contact, it wouldn't chaff. I used my Lotus on many long haul paddles in my sea kayak, I can already tell this low profile design will provide the same comfort and hope the durability is the same. ... show more

  • Very nice
Color: Glacier Blue Size: Small/Medium
I have not had this on in the water yet, but it is a first class life jacket. Fits very well, lots of straps to adjust the fit. Fits right at the waist, roomy armholes. Very pleased!
