Love this PFD. I am new to paddleing and had tried on several ones before I had settled on the Extrasport, just to find out I constantly rubbed my arms against the paddings on the lateral chest area. It became so irritating that I started looking for a new PFD, when the BetSEA caught my eye. I thought I give it a try, and what a difference-no rubbing! It is very comfortable to wear, I truly do not notice wearing it while paddeling and it does not ride up. I am so happy to have found this one. Got the pink/black one and love it.

Finally! A PFD for women with great design, choice of colors and offering extreme comfort. I had spent more money on a unisex- designed PDF that I had long dreaded wearing because of chest compression. Theres nothing cumbersome or uncomfortable about the BetSEA. When onshore, I no longer scramble to remove my jacket. Now Im the last person in a group to take off my PFD. I hardly know I have it on. The BetSEA will not ride up in the water if adjusted to fit properly beforehand. I recommend that a friend help fit the PFD to your body by equally tightening the cross-chest cinch harness. I thought Id miss the buckle pocket that my Extrasport PFD had offered but the extra-large fleece pockets of the BetSEA did very well. After 3 whitewater capsizes, I was pleased to see the zippers remained closed and that items in the pocket were only barely damp. The key attachment in front pocket is connected by loop of 1/8 bungie cord making it easy to get to your car keys. Ive never used the accessory lash tabs found on many PFDs, but the Betsea has two in case I need them: one on the chest and one on the back shoulder. ACKs pricing and service was a delight, along with lightning- fast shipping. Ordering online was fast and easy. Kudos to their webmaster!

New to the sport, I tried kayaking with several generic styles of life jackets, however, all were cumbersome. Our son recommended a kayaking-type PFD. The description & reviews are very accurate. Highly recommend this PFD to any woman!

This is my second BetSEA, I had to have a pink one. They are made specifically to fit women so are very comforable. This one is stylish and has hand warmer pockets which I love. Also great price.
