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 🤦
