Yukon Epic Paddle Life Vest | Multiple Colors Available

I'm a big guy, 350#, 6' tall. I was looking for something that would not be too bulky or make me feel like I am in a straight jacket. I was having trouble judging what I should buy online not knowing if it would fit or not.This life jacket is very comfortable and gives a lot of room in my shoulders, arms and neck to move around. It has a few front pockets and a small loop for a dead-switch on the lower right hand side of the life jacket. I wear a 3x/4x shirt and ordered the 4x/6x size of this life jacket. It is plenty big and there is a lot of room to make it both smaller and bigger if needed. There are adjustments along the vertical straps as well to either lower or raise it up on your chest.The construction of the material feels good and well made. The seams and hems are nicely sewn and I do not see any loose strands, strings or fibers. The front offset zipper is large-tooth to avoid snags and misfeeds and the zipper tab is large for ease of use when wearing gloves. There is only one snap-buckle on the bottom below the zipper and it feels like a good medium constructed snap buckle. Strap tensioners feel of good quality.YES, there IS a USGS label on the interior of the back panel of the Jacket and will meet all required boating regulations.Label states product is provided by Airhead Sports Group out of Denver, CO and is made in Cambodia.Highly suggested for big guys with barrel chests or large-busted women. This might also be a good choice for skiers or jet-skiers who like to be able to look around and have a higher degree of maneuverability.

This is the most comfortable pfd I’ve ever worn and is perfect for kayaking with the freedom of movement for arms and the entire design. I’ve worn the bulky ones before and don’t consider this bulky at all. I have a short torso and this is the first time I can bend over forward and to the sides without my pfd getting in the way. I personally love the zipper to the side. I am a 5 foot female and have a 42 chest, right on the cut off for sizes, and will lose some weight during the summer months but I still will be able to adjust it smaller and get a good fit. I could have sized down though to a small/medium. I bought a second one for my daughter but I purchased directly from the company website for $64 with a promo code, regular price is $75. Amazon is currently selling small/ medium for $90. Another reviewer posted the size chart which was helpful to me so here it is again. Highly recommend!

Perfect for kayak paddling and good flotation device!

Ordered for 2 of these, one for wife and one for me. Used them on our kayaking trip. They were very easy to put on, adjust, and left plenty of room for arm swing during paddling. Extremely satisfied!

Great fit! Comfortable for paddling. Feels secure.

Size ordered: L/XLHeight 5'10175 lbsNormally wear a medium t-shirt ( 40R in suit jacket)Great fitting pfd with a bunch of adjustments to get it fitting tight and secured. First time out was for about 3 hours kayaking, never road up on me, and range of motion was as if I wasn't wearing a pfd.PROS:Great adjustmentsFront pocket to hold whistle/id/car keysMesh backing helps keep your back against the seat while paddling and not angled forwardDoes not ride up.Reflective areas help with visibilityZippers seem like they will last and easier than buckets to ensure tight fitCONS:Front zipper area is not waterproof, bring a sandwich bag to line it for any valuables.

I'm a big guy 6'5 and 330lbs. It fits great and have plenty of movement.

Let’s start out with the obvious from my title is that this has pockets there’s a perfect space for a phone which if you have a newer iPhone is already waterproof so this works out great plus there’s a zipper pocket behind it which I have a waterproof bag that I keep my keys in this is awesome for kayaking and paddle boarding because it has large arms space while still being completely buoyant
