Ordered this PFD for my wife.
PFD is great quality and was
exactly what she was looking
for. It fits her perfectly and she
says it is very comfortable.
Opted for the high back
version due to us having sit in
kayak's and it could not work
any better! We have been
ordering things from Austin
Kayak for several months now.
This company and its
employees impress me
everytime as they ship within
the same day and are always
quick to respond back to any
questions. I have even asked
rigging questions which has
nothing to do with their
products, but they still respond
back with all the help they can
give! This is the only site I
have decided to get my
kayaking gear from! Thanks

Got this PFD for my wife. She
loves it. It's totally adjustable
and it fits her perfectly. She
likes that you can adjust it
because she can have it fit
perfectly no matter if she
wears a sweatshirt or jacket
under it or just a t-shirt.

Fits a womans figure well and
is comfortable while
paddling. It took me a long
time to find a paddling
pfd that fit this well and
felt comfortable, even
when the weather is hot.
Compared to other brands,
the price for this pfd is
reasonable.

I love this PFD. The high cut
back is great for kayaking.
So many ways to adjust the
fit. I can even use it for my
older grandchildren by making
small adjustments. I love
ordering from ACK.....they
ship faster and pack better
than any place I have ever
ordered from!

Love the way this PFD fits!
Plenty of adjustments to get
it just right! Comfortable &
fits above the seat on my SOT
kayak. I got the mango color,
it is pretty & will show up
better than a lot of colors.
Would have loved lime green,
but that wasnt an
option....LOL! The delivery
was super fast! Thank you
ACK....will definitely shop
with you for all my kayaking
needs!

This is a great, and stylish,
lifejacket. Comfortable enough
to wear all day, fits well. I
got the black with flowers
because I wanted flowers ...
but sure would have been nice
to have another color. Black
is HOT in the Deep South. I
would buy this lifejacket
again, and recommend it to any
woman.

Well, these things are not
primarily intended for
comfort; however,
this one has many adjustable
straps to help with that. It
stays down
out of my face. Nice chest
hollows to accommodate
breasts.

On first try it seemed a

with a few adjustments it felt

Love it. I am about 125# and
got the XS/SM size. It fit
really nice and didn't move
around while kayaking or rub
on my arms. Plus I love that
it matched the color of my
kayak. Would defintely
recommend.

At first try on I wasn't sure
I liked this life vest, but
after a good bit of
adjustments I found just the
perfect fit for me. I also
have the Mona Lisa life vest
by MTI and find that it rubs
on the insides of my arms, but
the Cruiser does not.
After a good bit of kayaking
in this vest I am really glad
I purchased it. I really
enjoy having the large front
pockets for keys and other
stuff. The high back is very
comfortable in my touring and
in my recreational kayaks. I
bought the pink color and it
is highly visible and exactly
the shade shown.

This vest performed as I read in other reviews. It
does not ride up and does not interfere with my
shoulders/upper arms when paddling. The front
pockets are good size. However, I would like to
see some places to hook some items like a whistle,
etc.

This fits really well--just a few tugs on the straps
and the vest feels like it was made for me. It is
not bulky or inhibiting in any way. I bought the
Mango color and it is beautiful.

If your are "big" in the front like I am, you will love this women's
specific vest. The high back keeps the vest from riding up so you
can paddle in comfort for hours. As always, ACK stocks nothing but
the best quality products, and they give you outstanding service.

Yes, this vest works for me, mainly because it has less padding
around the breast area and therefore does not compress me so I
can hardly breath. I bought a plus size (I usually take a 14 size) and
it is comfortable. I like the pockets.

I wasn't sure at first if this was the vest for me, but after trying it out, it definitely is! The padding in the front is very bulky, and I was worried it would affect paddling, but it doesn't get in the way at all. The women's styling is definitely a plus, and the high back is great with a sit in kayak. The pockets are perfect for holding a few things you may need to bring along. Love the blue color that I purchased.

I purchased this vest after seeing the positive reviews. The manufacture and fabric quality is very high. Pockets don't hold much, being slightly gusseted. My only criticism is that it has only a single d-ring inside one pocket as an attachment point for lanyards, etc. It's very comfortable to wear all day long. All in all, a very high quality and functional pfd.

I use my vest for sail racing. What works well
for this vest as opposed other brands selling
vests tailored for women is that Stohlquist
actually cuts the floatation foam in the chest
area to a woman's curves. Much more comfortable! Gusseted stowage pockets are a plus. Low form and well-sized for rations.

I bought this life vest for my daughters to use based on a recommendation from my sister, and it's fantastic! My sister loves hers and my daughters love this one. Very comfortable and a high back for Sit-On-Top seats. And of course, ACK is incredible in price and service. I called customer support with some questions and they were so friendly and knowledgeable. They are by far my favorite outfitter!

I purchased this vest after wearing a men's Stohlquist because I was so impressed with the quality of this brand. Although the men's vest fits my husband wonderfully, it felt bulky to me and required alot of adjustment to make it comfortable. This ladies vest fits perfect and feels less bulky. It is shaped for women, so I highly recommend this for any female, regardless of size. ACK is a wonderful store, as they have the best price and the fastest shipping.
