4.0 out of 5 stars Good vest, but O'Neill is better
The flotation padding in this vest, compared to the youth O'Neill vest, isn't as thick and is stiffer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but a little short on longer torsos

When I bought both brands at the same time, it was strictly so the kids would have a few different colors to choose from -- and while the Stearns is a good (4-star) vest, the O'Neill is a five star vest for about the same price.

We bought this for our yougest boy (6) and it was a little big but that just means he can use it for the next couple of years.
