Review on ๐ŸŒŠ Stay Safe and Comfortable with the Stohlquist Fit Life Jacket/Personal Floatation Device for Adults by Michael Mayes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good brand name, SIMPLE but doesn't fit well - Drives a kayak - Not recommended for a kayak

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, they fit me 5ft 10" and weigh 190lbs and the wife is smaller (can't post details :) We will be adding a clip to attach it to our belt loops to attach to her was lower. The fabric feels like it will tear slightly but has withstood the constant rubbing against the back trying to get it to stop. I will update later or upon request. I plan to jump in the water and see if it floats over my head. They really should have improved the bottom strap so it doesn't go up, especially with outstretched arms it can move up quickly. for kayaking.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Negative experience
