Onyx Universal Paddle Kayak Life Jacket Review

I ordered this life jacket for my boyfriend and I to wear with our kayaks. It's very comfortable and really not that bulky compared to my sister-in-law's who bought them at Cabela's. My friend (pictured) is 5ft 10" and weighs about 210lbs and I bought a large one but it could go smaller. But since all straps are adjustable, everything works perfectly. I can't wait to get mine on Monday!

This lifejacket is a great combination of quality and affordability. My wife and I bought it to go kayaking. They are very comfortable and not bulky at all - I forget I'm wearing them. Great mobility in the arms that is great for paddling. It definitely doesn't interfere with paddle strokes. And the shoulder straps have a wide range of adjustments to accommodate all body types and sizes. They are equally comfortable for me and my wife. The front pocket is also handy for stashing small items…

Much nicer than normal PFD vests. Felt cooler and less restrictive on hot days which led me to look for this style of vest. Other vests were often worn around the neck when I was in a sailboat. It's not like this. I can wear it a little looser, but still pull tighter on windier and cooler days. The front pocket didn't catch my eye when I bought it, but it will come in handy. I bought an oversized but it can be tightened nicely or opened up to fit over bulky cold weather sailing gear. I usually…

Having recently bought a kayak I needed to find a life jacket. The ones in the store were too bulky, too uncomfortable or too expensive. The ones I found online with good reviews were overpriced. Not this one! I'm a 5'7" female, 160 lbs. This is perfect because it can be adjusted. Each strap can be adjusted to fit your body. The bottom half of the backrest is mesh so it doesn't ride up when I lean against it lean the back of the seat. The pocket is large and easy to access. I kept my huge…

I'm thicker than a sneaker, size 24, chest 46g, so finding the life jacket was a real challenge for me. A group of kayakers recommended the large Onyx life jacket. Let me tell you that I should ALWAYS stretch everything to the maximum loosening possible, but not with this one! I loosened it up completely and had to tighten it up a bit which was good for my ego as that never happens. It's comfortable, cute, and allows girls to move to the side without squeezing them uncomfortably. I can really…

I bought this life jacket to use with my surfboard. I didn't want a big, bulky life jacket that would get in the way while rowing, but since I'm a "fluffy" girl with big breasts (I'm around 250 with DDD breasts), I was also concerned about finding the right one. I was nervous about buying it as it didn't have many reviews, but I took the leap of faith. I was so pleasantly surprised! I was worried the zipper might close the chest but it fits perfectly. It even had room for adjustments to make it
