I’m a big guy, 350#, 6′ tall. I was looking for something that would not be too bulky or make me feel like I am in a straight jacket. I was having trouble judging what I should buy online not knowing if it would fit or not.This life jacket is very comfortable and gives a lot of room in my shoulders, arms and neck to move around. It has a few front pockets and a small loop for a dead-switch on the lower right hand side of the life jacket. I wear a 3x/4x shirt and ordered the 4x/6x size of this life jacket. It is plenty big and there is a lot of room to make it both smaller and bigger if needed. There are adjustments along the vertical straps as well to either lower or raise it up on your chest.The construction of the material feels good and well made. The seams and hems are nicely sewn and I do not see any loose strands, strings or fibers. The front offset zipper is large-tooth to avoid snags and misfeeds and the zipper tab is large for ease of use when wearing gloves. There is only one snap-buckle on the bottom below the zipper and it feels like a good medium constructed snap buckle. Strap tensioners feel of good quality.YES, there IS a USGS label on the interior of the back panel of the Jacket and will meet all required boating regulations.Label states product is provided by Airhead Sports Group out of Denver, CO and is made in Cambodia.Highly suggested for big guys with barrel chests or large-busted women. This might also be a good choice for skiers or jet-skiers who like to be able to look around and have a higher degree of maneuverability.

This was great for rafting on the river. Doesnβt get in the way of padding and doesnβt rub weirdly. As a woman with medium size boobs a large fit great.

Letβs start out with the obvious from my title is that this has pockets thereβs a perfect space for a phone which if you have a newer iPhone is already waterproof so this works out great plus thereβs a zipper pocket behind it which I have a waterproof bag that I keep my keys in this is awesome for kayaking and paddle boarding because it has large arms space while still being completely buoyant

This vest fits well and is comfortable. I use it for kayaking and it doesn’t impede my arms/shoulders in any way. Great purchase.

My Grandson is a large kid with sensory issues. He was unzipping his life jacket on the boat. We obviously canβt have that. He is approx 5β10β & 300 lbs. Loves the comfort of this jacket. No more problems with him messing with his life vest while on the boat. Thankful Grandparents!

Vest is as described. Seems very well made. Havenβt fallen out of the kayak yet to test itβs buoyancy!
