Came in a Kayak package deal
and for the price of the deal
its an excellent value.
According to the paperwork it
came with, this PFD is not
rated for lakes, rivers, or
ocean. Seems to me that only
leaves swimming pools left.
Good thing Im a good swimmer.

I bought eleven of these four
years ago to start my Kayak
Rental business. They are
super adjustable and have HELD
UP SO WELL. They still look
good.....and remember, rentals
take a beating! I am ordering
more....need some XXL for my
supersized clients.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
