  • Very Comfortable
Color: Storm Navy Size: Large/X-Large
This is an excellent quality PFD and is quite comfortable after a 10 hour day of yak fishing. Didnt even know it was there most of the time.

  • Top Tier Fishing Kayak Vest
Color: Pebble Gray Size: Large/X-Large
As the temps on my lake started to drop I decided it was time to start wearing my vest. My old vest was very bulky, and the back hit the seat of my Perception Pilot in a terribly annoying way. I needed something that would be out of my way. I didn't want to feel like the Michelin Man while casting. I took a shot on this Astral v-Eight Fisher and could not be more pleased. It excels in all areas that standard life vests let down the kayak fisherman. I actually forgot I had it on during my first test trip with it. The back is nowhere near low enough for it to interfere with my kayak seat, which is rather tall as they go. It is super light, and affords great range of motion in the arms. Again- I forgot I had it on, while testing it. If you're on your boat a lot and like to fish this vest is a solid choice. I cannot speak to it's breathability as I got it in the fall season; but if it's anything close to as well designed and innovative the rest of the jacket is I'm sure it will be impressive. ... show more

  • Fantastic Vest for Kayaking
Color: Storm Navy Size: Medium/Large
Highly recommend this vest, has a lot of pockets for fishing, don’t fish, but highly recommend this vest for comfort and great fit! Took me a few to get this one, so don’t bother with any other vests for Kayaking, buy this one for sure!

  • Great Vest
Color: Pebble Gray Size: Large/X-Large
Great for Kayaking. I bought another company's vest first. This one is so much better. The back panel is great because the flotation pad in the back goes above the kayak back. Other models will push you forward or the padding sits right at where the kayak back ends. This causes the vest to be pushed up to your chin or there is a big chunk of foam behind your back. It also has good ventilation. The size was a bit bigger than other companies large as well. This is great because it's easy just to tighten the straps. Better to have room if you need it than be squeezed in. I'm 5'7" and 220 lbs and the L/XL is perfect with some room to spare but can be tightened correctly as well. I was also worried about the zipper close but it's very easy to use even if you have a bit of a belly like me.. There are a few pockets. Not super big but will fit a smart phone. Enjoy the Lake !! ... show more

  • Very Satisfied
Color: Storm Navy Size: Large/X-Large
I was able to get my hands on this PFD at a time when virtually everything was out of stock. It has plenty of adjustability and is definitely comfortable enough to fish and paddle all day. As for features, it has everything I need and more out of a PFD. I can carry my phone and car keys in the zippered pocket and clip various tools to the outside of the vest. I can’t speak on how effective it is when you fall in, but I suppose that’s what the USCG rating is for. Overall very pleased with this purchase and would recommend. ... show more
