Onyx MoveVent Dynamic Paddle Sports CGA Life Vest

I am a fairly big guy, at 63 and 245 lbs. Jacket has lots of room in both the shoulder and waist adjustments. I am sure it would fit, even if I had a big barrel chest. I will not have an opportunity to try it on the water for another 2 or 3 weeks. However, I wore it around the house for about an hour. It is very light weight. There is absolutely zero restriction for my arms. It does add bulk, but how else, besides an inflatable, can you achieve flotation? I found that within a few minutes, I was almost completely unaware of wearing it. I would absolutely recommend this life jacket to any boater. The only improvement I would suggest is the whistle. I have another life jacket whistle that is smaller, and much, much louder. Keep in mind, I didnt buy this jacket for its whistle. I bought it for ease of movement and flotation. On a side note, a life jacket can only do you any good if you are wearing it. I flipped a fast dingy, a few years ago, while living on San Juan Island Washington. I often did not wear a life jacket, feeling I could swim to safety if I ever wound up in the water. Fortunately, because it was cold, I was wearing a life jacket that day. Fully clothed, I would have used all my available energy just trying to stay afloat. The typically 48 degree water of the Puget Sound rapidly saps strength. There is NO REASON TO NOT WEAR THIS LIFE JACKET, (unless you happened to be scuba diving instead of boating).

Have only used mine three times but so far have been really pleased. My only complaint is the pocket can hold very little, it barely even fit my car keys.

Fits. Not bulky.

I received the order quickly and it works perfect.

The ONYX life vests work great for a fantastic price. Life vests can get SUPER expensive and these ones were very affordable and work great for both my wife and I. We use them in our tandem Kayak and have had not complains. The only negative about this product was the shipping time. There was a warning that this product could take up to one month to arrive, but they actually took closer to two. Amazon checked in to see if we still wanted them, which was super helpful, but it still was a long time to wait.

I found this vest to have really good features, like built in whistle, high back with mesh below so would be comfortable to kayak in, but it was a little on the bulky side for my taste. My brother loves it, so gifted it to him, and got myself one that was a little more girly.

Fit well. Using to kayak. Plenty of room for paddling.

This is the perfect kayaking vest. Its light weight and the adjustable straps make it perfect for men and women. Ordered 2 of these in the same size (LG) for my husband and me. Wasnt sure how the vest would fit on me since Im considered curvy. It was perfect and comfortable. Glad we went with this particular vest!

Lightweight and full range of motion!

Love this! I can wear it and use my paddles easily. It had plenty of straps to hook onto my SUP when not in use but it also floats nicely if it does get knocked into the water.
