    Comments about MTI Big Buoy PFD:

    I am a sailboater and a total non-swimmer.

    I wanted a vest with an extra safety margin. I weigh 190 lbs. and can't swim a stroke. This vest gives me the confidence to single-hand and anchor my boat in remote areas. It is rather bulky for sure, but that's what it takes to get 26 lbs of floatation.

    The bright color and generous reflective tape keeps visibility high. Love the pockets. Adjustability is good.

    I'm satisfied with it.

    Service and delivery comments:

    Very good in all respects.

    • Chest Size:
    • Feels too big
    • Was this a gift?:
    • No

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
