VERY NICE AND CHEAP.,June 7, 2009
By FieldMechanic80from Wylie,Texas
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money, nice and isnt hot to wear Disadvantages: none
"I have had mine for 4 months now and love it. Its cool to wear all day on the lake and not hot at all, the pockets are nice to have to put your stuff in. The colar is nice because it keeps your neck from being rubbed like most life jackets do. I wear a 4x and thats hard to find but no problem here and its fits so nice. I cant say this for my last life jacket but this one never gets on my nerves after wearing it for a while. This product is a good vaule and really nice so dont let the price fool you and make you thank its not combfurtable."

Excellent Vest,March 4, 2009
By DeerHunter66from Memphis, TN
"This vest is light, cool, comfortable, and works very well. It is easy to get on and off and it is not bulky. I own three and everyone that wears them says how much the like them. A great price for a quality investment. The only down side is that it does not pull the head up if you are injured."

Perfect vest for tournament fisherman,December 27, 2008
By NCbassMan83from Gastonia, NC
"This is a great vest for the price. It's very comforatable and allows you to move freely. The mesh on the shoulders is great and you can take it off and put it on very easily which is perfect for tournament fishing.
I haven't had to test the flotation performance (and hope I don't have to), but I would highly recomment it."

nice item,April 17, 2008
By BrooklynBoyfrom Brooklyn, N.Y.
"Very comfortable. The mesh top breathes well and the soft collar make for a great day on the lake. The pockets are huge and if you dont carry around a ton of gear (like me) you could probably fit enough in the pockets to carry you through an entire day of fishing. It isnt exactly the best looking vest, but then again, if we were in it for the fashion, we wouldnt be here in the first place...Happy Fishin' <' ))) -{"

Cheap and Comfy.,February 20, 2008
By BigBassTomfrom Morehead, KY
"I will admit that I only wear this, or any other for that matter, when the boat is in motion. I cannot stand to fish in a life jacket. The main draw for this was that it was available in a bigger size. I am a big ol' boy and I struggled to find a life vest in my size at discount outlets and sporting good stores in my area. I took a shot and ordered this one and I do not regret it at all! These are nice looking and I feel confident that the large amount of foam in the vest will float me with ease. The collar is made well and comfortable too. It has pockets as well. It put my sunglasses in them before and after I am done using them. If you are looking for something in a larger size or you just want a good life jacket you should try this product."

Not a great vest,January 16, 2008
By BubbaJayfrom Murrieta, CA
"I bought this vest because it came in big and tall sizes. I cannot wear it for long periods of time because it is very thick. It will keep you about four to six inches off the seat back. All of the flotation material is in the lower half, good if you were not going to sit."

generously sized,September 20, 2007
By 21farms
"these are very generously sized. whereas i can wear a large in other vests, i can easily take a medium with one of these. i bought an adult small for my 90 lb. ten year old daughter and it practically falls off her...i'm 184 lbs. and even i can wear the small, with it being only a tad tight. to make up for the lack of foam around the shoulder area where the mesh is, they put a lot more of it at the bottom part of the vest to maintain the same amount of floatation, making it much thicker/bulkier than vests with their floatation material spread out more evenly. although not a problem when standing, it's not as comfy when sitting against a seatback. looking at the design, it does not look like it will automatically turn an unconscious person so they will float face up in the water. just something to be aware of."

Excellent buy, great for minimalist kayak fishing!,August 10, 2007
By wetdeck!from SoCal
"Really well made for a $25 pfd. It fits well, stays cool, and has great freedom-of-movement for paddling, casting, and floats my dense self. Pockets add a level of convenience and utility, leave the tackle box at home. Put the emergency kit and disposable waterproof camera in one, looped to the zipper pulls. The other holds two sabikis, little bag with enough circle hooks and sinkers for the day, a leader spool, and a handful of swimbait jigs."

Excellent Value,July 2, 2007
By Festus
"I'm very happy with the quality, comfort, durability, and price.
I bought 2 of each size for my Kenai River lodge - where we make everyone in a boat wears their life jacket.
We also make our five year old son wear a life jacket anytime he is outside. Comfort is very important - that way he keeps it on.
Wish there was a size between Youth and Adult Small."

EXCELLENT VEST AT A REASONABLE PRICE.,April 30, 2007
By Anonymousfrom Pekin, Illinois
"I had looked all over trying to find a life vest to fit me. I take a very large size. I have ordered vests from other places in the past that were advertized to be the correct size and when I got them the body of the vest was large but the straps were too short. This vest has room to spare and is very comfortable. The mesh is cool and comfortable. I don't have an excuse not to wear a life vest anymore. The vest has two zippered pockets which are an added bonus. I would recommend this vest to anyone looking to buy a quality product at a reasonable price."

I'm Buying Another One .....,January 27, 2007
By MrsHamiltonSays
"My 12-yr-old started fishing jr tourneys two years ago and we purchased this vest. State law requires wearing one at all times, and makes good sense. Light-weight and versatile. The mesh is comfortable over multiple heavy jackets or just t-shirts.
Mom just joined the adult club and is buying one too!"
