The lifejacket is comfortable to wear. Kayaking with this lifejacket doesn't interfere with the paddling.

The comfort & fit of the vest is what I was looking for my Bay boat in Galveston Bay. It was lightweight and did not make me sweat which is a real plus in the Texas heat.

I actually ordered this life vest because I was looking for one with a zippered pocket - which, it turns out, this one doesn't have. However, I like it and will keep it. It's best feature is the mesh over the shoulders, which keeps the jacket from pushing up into my neck while floating in the water, and keeps it very comfortable for activities like paddling a canoe. Still keeps me floating, which is the goal, of course. and the price was very reasonable, after looking at $200 vests at REI. Perhaps the pricey ones are right for someone doing whitewater rafting, but not necessary for me.

This is a great life vest! I am a full figured woman and was in need of something that would fit my 60 in bust and this did the trick. It states that it only fits up to 56 in but it fits me just fine. Thanks so much!

One of the best life vest I have even worn, does not bind you and there is plenty of room to move in it.

The vest is perfect for me when I go out on my kayak. Can move around with ease when paddling, fishing etc. I bought a size larger then I needeed because I read in review's that these run a little tight and it fits perfect with some adjustment with the straps. Real light weight and a lot cooler feel for this FL heat.

I just got this Comfort Series life vest. I looks decent, and I bought it to obey certain laws.
Just like other reviews here said, you have to buy 1 size bigger, seriously.
I listend to the reviews, and I got the right size for me, 3X-large, instead of 2X (I wear 2X clothes normally)

Lightweight, comfortable and somewhat stylish. For the pricepoint this is a good product. I like that it is easy to wear and very breathable for those hot days on the water. I have a 40" chest and purchased the Large and it fits good with some adjustment left on the straps. Don't trust Stearns sizing chart on this product.

It's bulky. Shifts a lot.Defenately not good for boats where you will be sitting for an extended period of time.Very uncomfortable with seats that have backs on them. I used it in my seaeagle kayak for 4 hours and it was very uncomfortable. I'm going to look at a neoprene vest that has a lot less bulk.

I wanted to have a life jacket to wear when I used a float tube. Initially I was looking at inflatable PFDs , but the cost was a lot more then I wanted to pay. Although I have only used it once, it fits and wears just like I would expect it to.
