Looks durable and easy to use. I'm not a confident swimmer and plan on doing some snorkeling in Aruba so I figured this will boost my confidence. :). Seen more expensive ones, but for the little bit of snorkeling I plan on this works fine.

I can swim but I tend to sink even in salt water so it takes more effort. This best allows me to be more comfortable. At a recent stop, there was a ship wreck a couple hundred yards off shore which I may not have done without this. But with it, it made it easy. It does want to ride up a bit and the under strap needs to be snug. Easy to adjust the level of assistance even while in the water.

so easy to inflate the vest by pushing in the valve to blow in air. easy to remove air after use. we halfway inflated for a better fit and adjusted the straps loosely in both directions. This vest made snorkeling much easier! we could just cruise along the water without using flippers much, just gently moving around the surface of the water. very thick, strong material. no complaints!

For the money it seemed to be very nice . Tested it and it holds air and the valve works fine. Well worth it if in deep water and need arises .

Good quality. I used a large (5'9" 165 lbs) my husband use XL (6"5"). We are both average swimmers in our 50s. We used these in Maui. We went snorkeling every morning for a couple of hours. These vests allowed us to stay in water for an hour at a time and really explore. Easy to float face down in water. It was so relaxing even when the waves would start to pick up because I was confidant that my husband and I were safe. Packs nice and small in suitcase. We rented our snorkels, masks, and fins. Purchasing these was cheaper than renting and I did not see this style of vest available for rent.

Purchased to take on vacation to Mexico as a backup for myself. It works fine for snorkeling but is a bit awkward to keep in place. The water was a bit rough the day I used it so that might have contributed to the issue. All in all a cost effective and easy to pack option.

I bought this for my father who never learned to swim with hopes that he could be able to feel comfortable snorkeling on vacation. He was able to float comfortably with it and it kept him safe. It is easy to inflate and deflate and I highly recommend it.

My family has about 5 of the smaller snorkel vests that they sell on Amazon but they did not fit me at all. The smaller vests made it impossible to move and the crotch strap was not long enough.I definitely needed a bigger size, so being the largest person in my family, 5 ft 10 inches (240) lbs I dexided to give this vest a try.I used it in Cozumel and at another cruise Port. I was out in over 50 foot deep water and I felt perfectly safe. This vest kept me floating so well that I actually had to let some air out of it. It can keep me afloat with about 50% of the it's air capacity when I'm in saltwater.It's also super easy to blow up and to deflate.My favorite thing was that when I had it on, I was still able to swim around and see the coral reef without feeling restricted.Aftter we finished snorkeling, the vest cleaned off easily with fresh water. I definitely recommend letting them fully dry prior to storing to avoid mildew.

My husband is 280 lbs and the XL is a perfect fit. He has a large head and the opening slips on easily. The strap is just large enough for his 46 in waist and the crotch strap again is just long enough for his 6ft 1 in frame. The valve is far enough away that it will not interfere when snorkelling. Fast delivery.
