Rides and rubs: Sport

Rides and rubs under the armpits. My son is 7.78lbs, 4ft 5in. I ordered a junior under 90 pounds and he loves the way it cuts inwards but doesn't like the way it rides up and rubs. Only 2/3 of our straps were adjustable, the top strap was not adjustable. If we could, maybe it wouldn't rub so hard

Pros
  • Beautiful thing
Cons
  • Only available in black

My 8 year old loves it, that's all that matters

I bought this for my 8 year old son so he can kayak. He likes the style and seems very comfortable. He didn't complain about it, so I take that as a good sign. It fits right in like it should, so I feel like it's ready to do the job if it's ever needed.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • repair

Too deep hand holes. Not suitable for long swims

The arm slits on this jacket are too low so the whole jacket moves towards the neck. I do not recommend. My kid wore it every ten minutes. We even tried to tighten it, it didn't matter. As a last resort, when you have nothing else but it is impractical to use it in the pool for a long time.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • A few small things

There were only three boat trips.

Comfortable lifejacket for only three boat trips. Our family bought a jet ski this summer so we ordered this life jacket from Revain because it looked comfortable and was Coast Guard approved. Well, unfortunately not for long. We will try to contact the seller to see if they can send us a replacement and update you on the customer experience.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Secret

Not suitable for children weighing 60 pounds

We love these life jackets. 50-90lbs is a wide range and our kids are around 60lbs and I was nervous as I didn't pull the life jacket on tight enough to be able to fit snugly which is recommended. Also, they don't have a bottom strap that goes between their legs and locks in place, so I was concerned that the life jacket would fall off their heads if something happened. Luckily this didn't happen and we hope the life jacket will fit better in the future.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Unsafe

Definitely raised in the back

I read the reviews here before buying so I saw the reviews that the back is raised. I assumed this to be the normal level that I have seen on many life jackets. However, it was MUCH more than usual. I assume it's due to the large hand holes with no strap going all the way around (just clips on the front). It still "worked" and you're okay with that because we rarely need to use it (Luke twice a year) but we wouldn't keep it if we needed to use it regularly.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Volume

Wouldn't use it on a child.

A busy mother of three here and I needed a life jacket for my 7 year old autistic son. My son is a big boy for his age and wears 10/12 clothes. I had high expectations for this life jacket, but that didn't mean minimum expectations. The top buckle has some slack to tighten the strap (for a tighter fit). The jacket went up to his ears while he was swimming. This happened every time he swam in it, to the point where I was concerned he might slip out from under it. We didn't want to risk it so we…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Finally! The one that fits!

VERY SATISFIED with this product. I ordered two Stearns life jackets for my kids who weigh barely 50 pounds. I ordered size 50-70 pounds. They were very tight, there was no room for growth on the straps and my son couldn't handle the high neckline (not uncommon for life jackets and he is very picky). We ordered this for him instead and he has a great V-neck (no complaints at all!), the shoulder straps have room to grow and he wears it safely and happily. Checked on Friday - successful! He…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
