Airhead Adult Type II Keyhole Life Jacket, Multiple Colors and Sizes, Coast Guard Approved

Bought this life jacket for short kayak trips. It's cheap, it's surprisingly comfy, it feels like it's made from quality materials AND IT ABSOLUTELY CHANGED MY LOVE LIFE! I wore it home from the post office since both my hands were full and on the ten-minute walk, not one, but three, young women yelled some version of "I like your life jacket" after me. Also, and elderly lady said good evening and I'm pretty sure she was down to party too. Good thing I wore a life jacket, because I was drowning in ladies! Maybe it's the bright orange color, maybe it's the slightly-too-long belt, maybe it's the neatly printed product info on the back. Regardless, it seems this life jacket is a game changer for my love life! 5/5! Would buy again!

These are simple, basic life preservers which are not intended for long-term survival. As such, they're fine, they keep me USCG legal at a very low cost. I bought a pair of these & added a couple of whistles. The labeling on the preservers is clear & easy to understand, also informative if you haven't researched 'personal flotation devices'.I would've given 5 stars but I can't. Even understanding their intended use, and allowing for the low price, they won't get that last star. These life 'vests' are cheaply made and won't last long unless they never get used.

What's not to like? They are very inexpensive, Coast Guard rated, comfortable and adjustable... We got used to them very quickly and don't even think about them when they're on. We capsized once and found that they really work - wife and I are both good swimmers, but these PFDs allowed us to relax and just leisurely kick paddle ourselves back to shore, while hanging onto the gear we didn't want to lose.

This is a great life jacket. My favorite part as a mom (aside from safety) is I can see my child in it from a great distance (while on the kayak). Normally I buy the newer style ski jacket/vest, but so glad we got this one due to its extreme visibility and ability to roll the person on his back should something happen. Plus, this is actually easier when paddling as it won’t cut under the arm.

Most important to me is the flotation material inside. It appears to be closed cell foam, which over time, should not break down and begin to absorb water. The universal size goes up to fitting only a medium sized male body - say about a chest size 40 sports coat. If you're bigger or taller than 6', go to the bigger size unit. Good construction, no unnecessary frills. Solid stitching and clasp. Very bright orange. I haven't tried one in the water, but it should work as expected.

Fairly priced, haven't used it in the water yet so yeah...maybe i shouldn't be giving it 5 stars quite yet. anyhow, feels durable, and its U.S. coast guard approved. Also... it makes you look like a TITANIC survivor - Cheers.

These jackets are great if you are looking for a cheap life jacket to keep you out of trouble. That being said I would hate to wear this jacket for any period of time. They are extremely uncomfortable

I bought this simple PFD to avoid getting ticketed by our local enforcement while I'm using my SUP. It meets local code and is relatively flat, making paddling with this attached to the board easy. You can't beat the price either!
