Very comfortable with great adjustability!
Yes , I recommend this product
Comfortable with easy adjustability. A real improvement over the style of life jacket I used as a sea kayaker back in the 1980! Can't comment on durability as I have only used it for a month but it appears to be made from high quality materials. I live in Maine where it can get cool in the fall so some days I wear this over a jacket and some days just over a shirt. I find it easy to adjust the fit for each. The only minor complaint I have is the zipper can sometimes be difficult to get started as there is no material to grasp on the left side below the zipper Might be a good idea to add a small tab to the bottom edge of the life jacket. All and all I am very satisfied with it and would purchase it again

Tight and secure
Yes , I recommend this product
Tight and secure is how this vest fits. It is light weight and has enough pockets to keep items in. It is nice in the fit, and very visible.

Nice Vest with Flexible Sizing
Yes , I recommend this product
I am 6’1” and 225 lb so by the chart my proper size vest would be XL. That was not available and I went with XXL. The fit is perfect without a lot of extra strap hanging off. I would not shy away from sizing up. My kayak seat is to mid back and the vest design fits in well without material overlap. Paddling is comfortable with adequate ventilation.
