Review on Stearns PFD 2000013196 7976 Type by Joe Kokenge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceeded all expectations

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find life jackets with flotation pads and especially crotch straps in larger than child sizes. This life jacket is great. Being Type II it is extremely comfortable and its size can even allow a small adult with enough shoulder straps to carry it. There are no complaints when wearing it. Convenient enough that it disappears while swimming. Although I did notice the thread loosening inside the drain holes, I believe the vest should last for many seasons with good care. I hope Stearns will continue to make this life jacket for many years to come, but maybe with new colors or graphics. Thank you Stearns for providing a great affordable life jacket with safety features normally overlooked by other manufacturers.
