His is a great looking ski vest for the grandkids. Easy to put on and very comfortable for a day on the water. No red marks on kids arms and they sometimes wear em all day on the boat and tube. Dries quickly. Fits to size and adjustable for kids of all sizes and adjust very easily. I’ve bought medium and a large and highly recommend. Quality, looks good and reasonable price…..durable.

This life jacket was the perfect fit. The jacket was long enough to cover my slightly chubby tummy. Most jackets are short for movement. I felt I could Move as needed to paddle board! The colors are bight and fun.

I really do like the material of this vest. Love the colors. Is nice and lightweight. Haven't used in the waterso cannot rate how it performs. The sizes are as follows, if you wear a large top, then the large vest fits appropriately for a large size. Is snug but is suppose to be.

I just added two each of the Infant, Child and Youth size PFDs to use on a commercial tour boat, in addition to the USCG requirement for commercial boats to carry Type I Offshore PFDs for all passengers. In Florida, children nunder 6 are required to wear a Type I,II or III PFD at all times when underway and Infants are required to wear a Type I or II. And dependant on distance offshore, children under 13 are also required to wear PFDs.The Type I Offshore jackets are a USCG minimum requirement, for commercial vessels to carry, for all passengers on board and of an appropriate size. However, as long as Type I PFDs are on board, additional Type II, III or IV PFDs may be carried and worn instead.Type I PFDs are not very comfortable to wear for any length of time for those required to wear one, and we know how fussy those under 6 and especially under 3 can be. Rather than have charter guests provide their own for thker children, I ordered these as a more comfortable option and solution for use whole on the boat or playing in the water. They were immediately put into service after receipt and the kids loved wearing them. The gende neutral graphic design and color pattern, make this ideal for for families with both multiple children, a mix of boys and girls this universal and matching design among sizes is both professional looking and gives the kids have one less thing they could fight about while spending otherwise fun family time together on the water.After swimming, they clean up easily and dry fairly quick while in the sun. Overall a great pick for both recreational use and in commercial use if in addition to carrying the required Type I Offshore.

Bought it for the wifey, we measured her chest, according to the size chart she should be wearing a small. After reading some reviews about it running small I decided to buy the medium, glad I did. She would not have been able to zip it closed, the medium fit well, consider going up one size if you buy it. Seems to be well made and the wife likes how colorful it is. If she's happy with it then I'm happy with it.

Be careful in ordering your size. In reading reviews, many said sizes run, small. I found that their size ran pretty accurate. I am a medium and medium fit. Large was too big. Nice comfortable, non-bulky jacket and I love the colors.

I attached a photo because I think it should be compared to a child's life vest for a 30-50 lb child. The one on the left is labeled for 30-50 lb child, however it is too small for our 50 lb child. The one I'm reviewing on the right is labeled for a 50-90 lb youth. We were looking for a small size 50-90 lb vest for our 5 year old who is 50 lbs. This one fits perfectly, but we can tell it will not fit a 90 lb child (unless that child is tall and very slender). It is a comfortable youth size vest for the small side of 50-90 lb category. Enclosed sides, soft, and the zipper makes it more comfortable. Nice colors also - very sporty.
