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.

      This is good price but size is small.
      I bought it for me and my wife. Both of us are not big. If you are big, this item is too small.

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

                  Provides the most buoyancy Effective for all waters especially where rescue may be delayed Designed to turn most unconscious wearers to a face-up position in the water
                  Type II PFD - Near-Shore Buoyancy Vest Inflatable = 33.5 lbs. of flotation Intended for calm, inland water or where a quick rescue is possible Will turn some unconscious wearers to a face-up position in the water (turning is not as definite as with a Type I PFD)
                  Type III PFD - Flotation A
                  Good for conscious wearers in calm, inland water or where a quick rescue is possible
                  Designed so wearers can place themselves into a face-up position in the water (wearer may have to tilt head back to avoid flipping over) answer found at web site
