4.0 out of 5 stars Simple life vest for a very large person, September 3, 2010

I purchased this for my brother-in -law who is pretty large , that is, he weights about 300 lbs. He needed something to wear while borrowing our 12 foot aluminum boat to go out fishing in the lake. Naturally we were a bit worried what would happen if the waves came up due to wind, etc and the boat capsized, and/or he fell in the water. Anyhow, local stores did not carry an oversize life jacket, they just offered to special order me one for about $70. Instead I checked Amazon which had a way better price. On delivery this vest looks way too small, but it is not. It fit my B.I.L. just fine: Once all the straps are let out and adjusted, this vest looks like it fits great. It sits snug and high on the chest, has 3 straps for secure fit and there is ample armhole room. For my rating I am taking off one star because the fabric seems a little thin, but it probably does not affect the flotation; just that I think it could tear somewhat easier than other lifejackets we own, and that would void the safety rating on the jacket. PS We don't know yet how well this jacket will floats a 300 lb person, so we plan to ask him to wade in the lake on a warm day and test it out, and then I will report back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comfortable!, March 11, 2011

When I first saw this life jacket I thought it looked too small for my large frame. However, after adjusting the straps, it fit perfectly and was very comfortable. My previous life jacket would ride up and push against my neck but this one has a deeper V around the neck and large arm holes. I did find the buckles a little hard to release with my arthritic hands but I learned to pinch the releases hard and fully. When fastening them, a quick tug on the buckels will insure they are fully latched. I would recommend this life jacket for large people.

Thanks for the 2 lifew preservers. I have arthritis in my left shoulder and these fit great. My husband likes his because his rt. hand was amputated in Korean Conflict and these straps pull to the left easily and great.
