I WANTED A LIFE JACKET THAT FELT SECURE WITHOUT BEING BULKY AROUND MY SHOULDERS. THIS ONE FIT REALLY WELL AND DIDN’T RIDE UP WHILE I WAS PADDLING. I WORE IT FOR A FEW HOURS ON THE LAKE AND HONESTLY FORGOT ABOUT IT MOST OF THE TIME, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.

I WORE THIS FOR AN ENTIRE AFTERNOON AT THE BEACH AND WAS SURPRISED BY HOW LIGHT IT STAYED, EVEN AFTER GETTING WET. THE FABRIC DIDN’T CLING THE WAY SOME SUN SHIRTS DO, AND THE FIT GAVE ME ENOUGH ROOM TO MOVE COMFORTABLY. I’LL DEFINITELY PACK IT AGAIN FOR PADDLE DAYS.

WE’VE USED THIS FOR PARK LUNCHES, OUTDOOR CONCERTS, AND ONE VERY SANDY BEACH AFTERNOON. IT GIVES US PLENTY OF ROOM WITHOUT FEELING HUGE TO CARRY, AND SHAKING OFF THE GRASS AND SAND IS EASY. IT’S BECOME ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT JUST STAYS IN THE CAR NOW.

I’VE TAKEN THIS KAYAK OUT ON A CALM RIVER AND A COUPLE OF SMALL LAKES SO FAR. IT TRACKS NICELY, FEELS STEADY GETTING IN AND OUT, AND HAS ENOUGH SPACE FOR A DRY BAG AND A FEW EXTRAS BEHIND THE SEAT. REALLY ENJOYABLE FOR RELAXED DAY TRIPS WITHOUT MAKING EVERYTHING FEEL COMPLICATED.
