Will not fit small women

This one size life jacket WILL NOT FIT the size 6 woman it was designed for - it is too big. Even when fully tightened, it can slip off your head and body in an emergency. To return.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Adjustable enough for 2 completely different body types

This is a great life jacket - I'm 5'1" and my husband is 6'1" but we can both use them for kayaking. I don't like it tight around the arms at all, so paddling is easy and doesn't rub.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • -

"Universal " FITS SMALL ADULTS ONLY

Adult size "Universal Fit" is NOT suitable for people over 150 lbs. Product height is suitable if you are LESS than 5ft 9in AND your waist is LESS than 30in. In other words, it suits skinny teenagers. I order oversized and keep my fingers crossed.

Pros
  • Great Construction
Cons
  • Some Small Things

Size description should be clearer.

I thought I would buy a universal lifejacket. This needs to be explained better by clarifying what is meant by "universal size" and not "large size". I sew the straps on a little more so that they sit tighter and then everything is fine. Otherwise this is a very good value jacket. I tried it in the pool and it has great buoyancy.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Modern

While these life jackets are great: nice and light, easy to move around when kayaking, one of them is clearly reversible, which hasn't been tested. One was used and dirty (see photo) and missing all the tags and booklets that the other had. Now that they are out of stock I cleaned the dirty one and decided to keep it for myself. I understand that returns happen but verification must be done before it gets to the next buyer.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Other

Inexpensive, but rides

I'm torn about this life jacket. I really want to like it. Attractive design and equally attractive price. But the Stohlquist Fit comes from a quality manufacturer and everyone expects a quality product. Unfortunately, the Stohlquist Fit is not very comfortable. I've used a life jacket for kayaking and no matter what I do I can't help but get the life jacket up uncomfortably. It looks almost comical how high the life jacket will climb. Discomfort isn't a determining factor, but I wouldโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • There are nuances

We bought 2 of these for our tandem kayak and at first I thought they were great -> so far dry. But in a kayak they go up. The jacket does not fit well at the waist. I feel like if we actually got in the water it would fly over my head. This is comfortable when paddling, but uncomfortable when sitting deep in a kayak. I would recommend it for boats, jet skis or anything you sit or stand high on. But they're not great in a kayak. Aside from the fact that they go up they are versatile, theyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Negative experience

Very good lifejacket, ideal for paddlers

I have not had to use this vest in an emergency (and hopefully never will) but I am required by law to wear a lifejacket on a kayak. "I can't wait to wear this beautifully tailored life jacket," no one ever said. But at least this Stohlquist pf makes you hate following the rules a little less. It is relatively compact and best suited to this dwarf; which is pretty impressive for a 'universal' garment of any kind. I'm 5ft 3in and 120#, after putting this vest on properly I only had about 1 inchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
