Finally found a PFD that fits!

It took a couple of tries to find a PFD that was adjustable enough to accomodate my small frame while still allowing enough freedom of movement to enjoy being out on the water. This PFD is just right - comfortable and easy to adjust.

Does the job.

Fits well, but if it's not tightened properly around the waist, it will shift up the body while in the water. Still a good pfd.

Solid PFD, but would be better with strap pockets

Great life vest, but the top straps flap around and hit you in the face if it’s windy outside.

Great PFD for Kayaking

This is a good personal flotation device that is very comfortable. It is lightweight and you will forget you have it on!

Perfect PFD

Great PFD, like wearing nothing, doesn't get in the way but does it's job when needed.

Great for kayaking!

We use these on every length of paddle including overnights, and usually forget I'm wearing it. Easy to adjust, doesn't ride up while paddling.

What I needed.

Perfect for a basic PFD for kayaking. Would give 5 stars if it just had any kind of small pocket. Not inexpensive, but what is anymore?

Decent

It is soft and you are able to move your arms well, but it tends to ride up even with straps pulled tight.
