Perfect Fit for my opinion

As a big man I've struggled to find a life jacket off the shelf in our local stores. One of the hazards of on-line shopping has always been uncertainty about size. When the first jacket ordered was too small I returned it for a larger size and was delighted at how seamless the process was. I downloaded a code onto my phone and took the product, in its original box, to the UPS store. They printed the label and at no cost to me I was able to return it for the correct size. Perfect fit for what…

Pros
  • Easy to put on great fit
Cons
  • Best runs small. Purchase 1-2 sizes larger than you would normally.

Very Good Qaulity, not Cheap

Material and contruction is very well made. I advise if you usually wear XL get the XXL. Runs a little small. But you can adjust straps. Fits really Well I am 5'5' Female curvey 200 lbs.

Pros
  • Item arrived as described, quality product
Cons
  • for the size that i bought, the vest run small.

Seems high quality and exactly as advertised

Very nice product. Not too bulky for water sports. Slightly too bulky for my intended use (backup flotation device in a small plane)

Pros
  • Very go Quality and fast delivery. Sizes maybe a little on small size but all in all great products
Cons
  • The life jacket may not be suitable for those with sensitive skin or allergies to certain materials

Great life jacket especially for big people 4xl

Bought it for jet skiing. Other 3xl were a bit snug but this 4xl fit perfectly. Hard to find for large people. Great quality, 4 buckles and good arm mobility for jet skiing. Easily supports my weight in the water. Good buy

Pros
  • Very comfortable and doesn’t irritate your body or underarms very happy with it
Cons
  • The life jacket may not be suitable for those with mobility issues or disabilities

Pretty good in my review

I honestly just needed to buy one to go kayaking. For the price it isn't bad at all, but you will need to go up in size than what you're generally used to for clothing. Kind of bulky but plenty of room in the arms to maneuver.

Pros
  • Excellent for River trips and worked well for a 5ft 4inch 215lb woman
Cons
  • The life jacket may restrict movement and make it difficult to swim or maneuver in the water

Great Life Vests! - my new review

I bought one for my wife and one for myself. Very good vests. Comfortable, sized right and piece of mind. I purchased this item in a 3XL and it wouldn’t fit a small baby. It’s ridiculous!!!

Pros
  • Excellent quality and a great price. Highly recommended!
Cons
  • I purchased this item in a 3XL and it wouldn’t fit a small baby. It’s ridiculous!!

Worth your money: my feedback

Very comfortable and well made material. Use for our family vacations, snorkeling and swimming in the open ocean That's my review.

Pros
  • Like color fits well keeps one afloat
Cons
  • This is sized wrong l ordered 3X and its lucky to be an XL so order two sizes up

Snappy Life Vest for Tall People

I bought this because the other life vests I had just didn't work for my very tall sons. The minute they tried this one on, I could tell they were relieved! Finally they don't have a vest that feels too tight and too short.

Pros
  • Would have given it all stars but the whistle is cheesy. Otherwise very good, excellent choice
Cons
  • The XGEAR Adult USCG Life Jacket is relatively expensive compared to other options on the market

I thought I had ordered an XL. The sizing chart led me to believe that there was a choice in sizing. Apparently, all they offer is 3XL’s. It will be returned tomorrow.

Pros
  • Still a bit tight for the size. But works well and is comfortable.
Cons
  • The bright colors and design of the life jacket may not be suitable for those who prefer a more subdued look

Product as expected for a lifejacket

Product was fine for quality, timely delivery however the fit was odd. Seemed short compared to others, it was highly adjustable but did not fit as expected to stay on, tight and not fall off when hitting the water. Additionally I had returned the product for refund but somehow ebay shows to not have received it back and are now charging my account back for it. It was returned as required via the UPS / FedEx / ebay drop off and labeling directions. Therefore any issue after that is the problem…

Pros
  • I now know i need one size up and a special tall made one haha. I’m 6’3", this is to short
Cons
  • The life jacket may attract unwanted attention due to its bright colors and design

Very well made on my review.

As soon as I removed it from the packing I could feel the quality. I did have to end up returning it as it felt a little too snug. I am a 2x 3x but I felt it ran a little small. If you are in doubt about sizing go the next size up.

Pros
  • Needed to up update our life jackets for boating this summer and feel we got a quality product.
Cons
  • The life jacket may not provide enough warmth during cooler weather conditions

Pocket needs to be bigger.

Only reason I’m not giving this a 5 star I wish the pockets was bigger to fit my phone. I have a iPhone XS with a lifeproof case. Doesn’t fit and if something Happened while I’m out in the water or stuck it would be hard to call someone if I don’t have my phone on me, instead in a bag or boat/kayak. Etc.

Pros
  • A secure life vest
Cons
  • Used one time and feels like the back of the jacket is separating and is not very comfortable to wear.

Wrong size but I can make it work

I do a lot of boating since 2 of my sons and my grandson all have boats and live near. I decided tp but an extra water jacket. Love the jacket. It was 2 sizes too large but after adjusting the straps it works fine.

Pros
  • fit nicely not to tight or loose. very comfortable for kayaking
Cons
  • The life jacket may be uncomfortable for those who prefer tighter fitting clothing

Works well in a raging river

Had the chance to test it out on a swift part of the Boise river and it felt secure and was easy to keep my head above water. Saved my life possibly. Whistle included is a nice extra and is loud.

Pros
  • Comfortable and well made vest. I went one size larger than normal and it fit great
Cons
  • The XGEAR Adult USCG Life Jacket is very bulky and may not be comfortable for extended periods of wear

4XL life vest.what a hassle to find.

I looked at a few XL life vests for our teenager. This one by far was the best looking and fit/held him up perfectly. We got the blue one and he loves it. The clips on front appear to be of high quality (we've only used it twice). Product came super fast.

Pros
  • Fits fine
Cons
  • This life jacket is only available in one size, which may not fit everyone properly
