U.S. Coast Guard and Transport Canada Approved MoveVent Dynamic Paddle Vest for Adults for Kayaking, Canoeing, Stand Up Paddleboarding

Its a good flotation device. Its comfortable. Great for kayaking since the back part is mesh & not bulky when sitting.

I love this life best. It fits great and appears to be true to size. I am a short woman (5’1”) and new to kayaking. My brother gave me a brand new life vest that would choke me when I sit in the kayak. This one is so much better because it is cut lower in the front and is shorter so my legs don’t push it up into my throat.

Great product for kayaking exactly what I was looking for

My husband and I just took up paddle boarding and one of the important pieces to our safety is a good life jacket. I measured the different measurements that were necessary for a great fit. And since I did that, my life jacket fits me very well. I love the extra pockets and the maneuverability is amazing. Because of how the jacket fits, it doesn't take all of my arm space necessary for me to use my paddle. Plus, my jacket looks great, and the performance is outstanding. Thank goodness that the price is very fair. It makes this jacket a great and necessary part of the sport. I can't wait to get back onto the water!

Bought my first kayak and it “came with a PFD” which was a very basic life vest with no relief for a kayak seat back. This PFD was much more comfortable for kayak use. It is a bit bulky, but has not interfered with any of my kayaking on lakes, slow rivers and half day ventures which raged up to a mile from shore and over 10 miles. I still may upgrade to something more trim and with more pockets in the future, but this is still a very good PFD.

I am a fairly big guy, at 6'3" 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 didn't buy this jacket for it's 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).

SO, I'm spank the baby butt new to paddleboarding - got this PFD as an add-on to my iSUP order, and found a video on youtube on proper fitting - I love this PFD - the most comfortable one I've ever worn! Once you fit it PROPERLY, it is very comfortable, will not slip off and allows great upper body/arm freedom of movement! The only trepidation I have is the flotation rating, which is 70 (means in sight of shore) but I am HIGHLY unlikely to be where I can't see shore as I'm not the world's best swimmer. I AM confident that this PFD will provide the flotation protection I need for mastering m paddleboard. In my humble opinion, however, if you are a hardcore kayaker or radical adrenaline junkie, you might wanna look for a PFD rated for open water? But I love this thing, I made the right choice! (PD Im kind of a chunky girl, but I can still adjust the fit so it doesn't slide up n smother me!

Looks great, fits great and I love it

I haven’t used it yet but I’m excited to! I wanted a life jacket that would fit someone with a larger chest and also allow for good movement. Most life jackets I find ride up on me while I’m sitting so the neck and shoulders are up around my ears! This one seems like it won’t do that at all. My chest is approx 52” around and I have lots of room left with the straps! The arm holes are nice and big which I love. Hopefully it’s as good in the water as it is in my kitchen. I’ve also taken some pictures of the inside of the jacket and tags so you can see how it’s rated. This is not a life jacket meant for crazy waves, it’s meant for calmer water but that’s exactly what I need.

The parcel arrived within the timeline. However the box was torn and crumpled at one end and just put in a bigger box - I didn't know if someone had returned it or if it was damaged during transport. This is unfortunate as it's a gift so I will have to repackage it vs just wrapping it. It looks like it's very good quality and was the type of life vest the recipient wants. I gave 4 stars for comfort but this is a guess as the person hasn't received it yet.

Ordered two styles to try. Products seemed to be really good quality for cost but unfortunately neither worked for me. Cost dealt $40 CAD to send back!

I love this vest for kayaking. It fits nice and snug and doesn't try to ride up at the shoulders. Lots of room for paddling without rubbing under my arms at all. The little pocket is very convenient for my keys but, like other reviewers, it would be great to have a waterproof pouch or pocket of a slightly larger size attached to the front for cell phone, sunglasses, etc. But a fantastic product none the less!

This life jacket offers me a great range of motion when on my paddle board. It fits well and has a few useful pockets. The padding is a bit thicker in the chest area than I expected but it does not impede motion, just feels a little strange at first.
