I bought it to get into kayaking. I also bought an inflatable kayak. 3 minutes in the water near the ocean (where the river ends) I flipped the kayak! I had tried before to climb back to a canoe or kayak without a lifevest and I know it is really hard and for me, even impossible, because I don't have that kind of strength. Also the water was deep, and there was a small current. As the kayak turned, when I was at a 45% angle, I knew I was about to struggle.
As soon as I fell, my head was under the water for less than a moment. I didn't have to swim upwards or anything, the lifevest lifted me up immediately! It also made is easy for me to climb back to the kayak because it lifts you up.
I am truly, truly grateful!
The people I was with didn't even see me fall... it is dangerous out there!
I would recommend for boats, jet skies or anything that you sit up high or stand. But in a kayak they are not great. Aside from riding up, they universal fit did fit me 5'10" 190lbs, and smaller wife (can't post details :)
We are going to try adding a clip to attach to our belt loops to keep it down. The fabric seems like it will tear easy, but has held up to constant rubbing on the back from trying to get it to stop riding up. I will update later or on request. I plan to jump in the water and see if it floats over my head. They really should have improved the bottom strap to keep it from riding up especially with the open arms, it can move up quickly.
It's a name brand, basic "buoyancy assist" vest that is Coast Guard approved. It works, but I cannot recommend for kayaking.
