  • Very average, fit is small
Size: Oversized Color: Red
Very basic, mid grade vest. There are better options if you are interested in good mobility when wearing a life jacket and I would recommend getting something cut differently if you always wear it for the entirety of your boating trip. These are of average comfort. They are a big step up from the cheap orange life jackets you see people buy simply to be in compliance with the law, but are no where near the comfort of an automatic inflatable that can cost as much as 5 times the price. To be honest, for another 10$ you can probably find a more comfortable vest than this, just by finding a different low profile cut. The fit is small, though they do take some adjustment. If you are over 200 pounds, buy the oversized vest. I am 250 pounds and had to adjust the straps by 2/3 of their total allowable length to be comfortable. The cut of the vest is short, and sits above your belly button, which is probably intentional so as to make you float with your head up, but it does feel strange. I opted to buy these because i have used this brand in the past and had no problem getting 10 plus years out of them. These are not going to be my primary vest and are meant to keep with the boat in the storage bin for compliance in case I forget to pack my expensive one. They were also the lowest cost brand named oversized vests that I could find. While I could have purchased the cheap orange vests at half the cost, the state I live in has requirements that the vest be physically worn during winter months, and while these are a bit bulky, in the off chance that these will be the only vest on the boat, you can actually wear these for the entire day, unlike those cheap orange ones that are so uncomfortable you only want to wear it if you are actually sinking. So my final assessment is that they are average, better than cheap orange vests, but not as good as high cost vests. Id buy the best vest that you can afford. They only save your life if you wear them. If the fit is uncomfortable you will opt to leave it off. You would be best served to visit a real store and try them on in person before you commit to something. Find what works for you best and buy it even if it costs a small amount more. Never buy a cheap orange vest as your primary. You will absolutely regret it, and will never wear it. They are literally for a ship sinking type of emergency and are not reasonable for daily wear. These are the best option for not wanting to spend a ton of money, but also getting a vest that you can wear without terrible inconvenience, and they do hold up well over the years. ... show more

  • Hope I never need it !!
Size: Oversized Color: Red
I recently purchased a kayak and needed a safety vest. I'm about 6 feet tall and weigh about 250 pounds. I purchased the oversized vest and it fits comfortably -- that doesn't mean it's near as comfortable as no vest but it's better than many if the vests that rental companies offer. Anyway, it's very adjustable and seems sturdy. I like the bright color of the vest. This vest seemed to be a good deal on Amazon versus what I was seeing in stores and the price was reasonable. I'm satisfied. ... show more

  • Good entry level vest for recreational kayaking.
Size: Universal Color: Blue
I wanted to get into kayaking without initially spending too much. Although not made specifically for kayaking, this vest is a good low-cost option for someone just starting out. It is also Coast Guard certified. After wearing it in my kayak for several outings, I haven't had any noticeable discomfort. I also have pretty good freedom of movement. However, the next vest I purchase will be less bulky and made specifically for kayaking. ... show more

  • Tight
Size: Universal Color: Red
This jacket is a little tight. It says it fits all but I found I couldn’t make it loose and yes I know you don’t want loose but I’m not a big person either. I’m sure if I fell out of my kayak it would save me but to keep it on long periods of time I struggled.

  • Fits a wide range of sizes. Material does not wrap around the waist. Secured together with straps, like a child's apron.
Size: Universal Color: Red
I just got this life vest delivered and have not worn it in the water yet. I ordered the Universal size hoping that it would fit the adults in our house, but it if it didn't, we would let the teens use it. It fits the adults: heights 5'5" and 5"10. It does seem short for both of us, compared to other vests we've worn, but it fits. That's probably a good thing so that when we're sitting in a boat, it won't push up into our neck/chin. There was one thing I was really surprised about and a bit disappointed. The vest does not go fully around your waist. You cannot see that from the picture provided on Amazon. It basically fits like a kid's apron...you can put it over your head and it covers you in the front and back, but not the sides. The material is attached at the shoulders, but not at the waist. It is open on the sides, except for the straps that wrap around and hold the front to the back by snapping them together in front. So, that makes it really adjustable for people from 130lbs to 220lbs. If you weigh more or less than that, or if you are taller than 5'10", you may want to go for a different size vest. This vest is too big for a 110lb. slim 5'4" teenager since, even after tightening the straps as much as possible, it still lifts up above the ears (the test of a good fit). It is lightweight. The arm cutouts are EXTREMELY roomy which I would think is great for rowing. The front by the neck/chest (where the S logo is) is very narrow, so it's easy to move your arms too. You don't feel like a tin man. It seems to be made well and as long as straps are secured, it seems like it would hold up well and hold a person up well in the water. It is bulky, but not too bulky. (Not flattering from a profile view.) For a child or teen, I think I'd feel more secure with a vest that went completely around the waist. ... show more
