After many years, my PFD needed to be replaced. Finding one that actually fit and feels comfortable proved to be more of a challenge than expected. I’m a 5’3” 105 pound woman. This is the 4th PFD I tried. This PFD fits well and is comfortable, without too much bulk or feeling smothered. I just received it and haven’t had the opportunity to paddle yet due to chilly and windy conditions but I fully expect it to serve me well.
Great for Kayaking and attractive too !
This product listed as XS/M is just M. It's a nice enough medium size vest but I feel bad for small people. I'm an average sized woman. I'm 5'4" and it is almost too big for me. I wear a men's size M shirt. Dont lie about product sizing, please be honest and admit that you do not expect actual small people to need these products 🤦
Bought this for my dad who is picky when it comes to life jackets. He said it stays out of the way and is actually comfortable to wear when fishing from his kayak. Seems well made too.
