I use this vest kayaking on lakes and rivers It is well designed for all paddling action and does not creep up my neck. I am a 5ft7in slim person the xs/s fits me perfectly > easy to adjust to light or heavy clothes layers. It is quite puffy in the front which I thought might bug me but it is a non-issue. It looks and feels well made but I've only used it 10 times so don't know how durable it will be. Happy with the purchase.
Great value and quality. Works great for kayaking!
Purchased for my new to me Oru Haven Kayak. Works great with lots of movement for paddling. Great value and also has the safety whistle. Zipper works as it should. XS fit perfect. 5'9 36" chest athletic build.
This vest worked great for kayaking. These do run on the large side, but also have lots of adjustment travel with the straps. Especially nice that the back pad is high enough to clear a seat back. Would definitely buy again, did not find any better products when searching, especially regarding value.
It is light-weight. a good fit, plus it has good ventilation for a cooler experience on the water. The raised floatation cushion at the back, is positioned to allow a more comfortable sitting position against the kayak seat back.
