Great product for the price

Bought these for my sons and their friend. They use them when they go out fishing in their boat. Good deal for the money, meets their needs.

            Inexpensive, work as intended, good boating vests. These are better than the plain orange vest to keep you boat legal.

                Comments about Overton's Overton's Universal Adult Boating Vest:

                The buckles used on these jackets are so hard to sqeeze and have very sharp edges that they hurt your fingers too much to use. A child would not be able to open the buckle because of the pain from the sharp edges. Overton's needs to get this buckle switched out.
