| Review: | Very comfortable and well fitting. Haven't had to get it wet yet. Hope I don't until next summer since fall is here. High quality product for the package deal- came with my tarpon 100 package. Thanks ACK for putting great quality merchandise in such a reasonable package deal. | ||

| Review: | Very comfortable and even stylish. Works well considering I dumped my kayak about 1/2 mile off the shor of Lake Huron and had to float in with my boat. | ||

| Review: | Fits well. Haven't worn a PFD in over 20 years..... let's hope this one is only needed for peace of mind! | ||

| Review: | Very comfortable, easy to put on and adjust, Just wish both pockets had a d ring in both pockets. | ||

| Review: | Came with kayak package but seems to be a very nice PFD with 2 nice pockets with loops to secure keys, knife etc. I have a pretty big gut but was able to easily adjust the various straps to get a good secure fit that prevented the vest from floating up my torso. I like it a lot. Glad they picked it for the kit so I was prevented from opting to buy a cheaper product as I often do. | ||

| Review: | Got the XXL, red. I wear a 3x shirt, this fits no problem. I started with all the webbing let out, then, when pulled up tight it was in the halfway range. I like the lash tab, an NRS pilot knife is in the plans for that. The pockets are cool, self draining. Heavy duty ykk zipper, soft shoulder pads. And I really like the side material to keep the webbing from digging into my skin. Only con: I'm a big, tall dude, so I would like to see a PFD that is a little bit longer on the torso. Other than that, this is a great PFD! | ||

| Reviewer: | Miss H | Rating: 4 | Date: 03/31/2011 |
| Review: | I really liked the quality of the vest but it ran really small. We had to return the small because it was so small. The measurements for sizes do not seem accurate. I like your good return policy. Will do business with you again! | ||

| Reviewer: | Chris Sprong | Rating: 5 | Date: 01/04/2011 |
| Review: | Great vest, very adjustable, very comfortable. When I'm out there I don't even think about it being on. The vest doesn't get in your way at all through your paddle stroke. I would recommend this vest to everybody that is looking for one, especially for the price. | ||
| Reviewer: | robopaddler | Rating: 3 | Date: 11/30/2010 |
| Review: | Good quality and decent features for the price. It is hot; should have a buckle at the top of the chest so you could open the zipper for ventilation. I am 6'1" and 200 pounds and the LG/XL is big on me. | ||

| Review: | Great vest. The back is uniformly thin and even. Perfect for kayaking. | ||

| Review: | Handy pockets, safe PDF. However, it seems most PDFs must be designed by men who are, of course, flat-chested (smile). How about designing a PDF for women with hollows for busts and flotation below bust line & around. Can't see why it wouldn't work. | ||

| Review: | We bought one of these to use on our small sailboat. Liked it well enough to order a second one. The service and the price from Austin Kayac was excellent. Would do business with them again gladly. | ||

| Review: | This Vista PFD was part of a package. Works well did some entry practice and found that I did not have it tight enough. After adjustment it stayed in place. It does not interfere with paddling. Good Recreational PFD. | ||

| Review: | Wife and I got these vests as part of a package deal from ACK. They are perfect for recreational kayaking. They are cut in a way that they do not interfere with paddling. Good workmanship | ||

| Review: | The family loves it. We ordered 4 XL and surprisingly enough, it fits my wife and daughter too who are 5' 2" tall weighing 120 lbs and I'm 190 lbs. with my son at 150 lbs. XL fits all! The PFD's color is nice and bright which makes it easy to spot you in the water. The design is nice enough that it doesn't get in the way during fun activities. | ||

| Reviewer: | Tom | Rating: 5 | Date: 07/17/2010 |
| Review: | Like the overall design, gives plenty of room to move your arms around. Have not had my first wet exit yet, so cant say anything about performance, but it is comfortable, and I do feel safer in it. | ||

| Review: | Austin Kayak was SUPER fast about shipping this product! I am very happy about it, as I received it just as I was going to have a dragon boat race two days later. Customer service is great. The NRS Vista PFD Life Vest is snug and good for its price. | ||
| Reviewer: | Bill | Rating: 5 | Date: 08/08/2009 |
| Review: | NRS did a great job on the Vista PFD. It looks good and is comfortable. A lot of vest for the money. Higher priced vests only have better nylon fabric, however the Vista beats all others I looked at in this price range. | ||

| Review: | As with any PFD takes some getting used too. Proper adjustment of lower strap minimizes ride up. As noted by lac, chest area is bit bulky but not sufficient to decrease rating. Excellent price and shipping. | ||

| Review: | The perfect all around PFD. Excellent construction, comfort, and style. Looks like a much more expensive PFD and I sometimes forget I have it on. Drove halfway home from my Yak trip before I realized I still had it on. Great Buy. | ||

| Review: | I am really happy with this! Bought it just in time for a Boy Scout rafting trip - ended up in the river - no choice! Did great while I paddled most of the day and brought me back up! Also used it at Cub Scout Day camp the next week, working in the canoes. This was a great price and a quality produce. | ||
