Life jacket fits perfectly, extremely adjustable and lightweight and barely feels likes youre wearing anything while paddling. The front pockets are extremely nice as the material seems to be quite water resistant so nothing gets wet inside.

I like that this pfd has a high back and two front pockets for misc. items. Nice to see the reflective strips on the shoulder straps.
