Life Jackets meet expectations
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.robocher5 years agoWhat I like about this package other than the price is the package it comes in. I've placed these in the storage area of the bow of my boat and hope to never use them. That being said, the package will keep this a small item as far as storage goes and keeps me and my family legal as far as the USCG and game wardens go.

Best Price!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.EBRO3 years agoGreat product, but I didn't realize there are different sizes of Adult life jackets. These ones are not as long as the individual ones that you purchase elsewhere. However, those ones are much more expensive and I think these work fine as long as your not planning to go offshore many miles.

Good throw, cushion in not so much
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.ramrodfl2 years agoThis meets the requirements as a safety throw and the bright red can be easily seen. It has 1" pieces of foam layered on top of each other that can shift slightly. It is not as comfortable as the old style cushion that are are no longer made. If you buy 3 you get free shipping.

Great boating vest
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.TElan2 years agoI purchased two Onyx vests for my sons. They were enrolled in a summer sailing camp on Lake Michigan. The camp required a type III, Coast Guard approved vest that also allowed for easy arm movement. This vest did the job so well, parents were asking me where I had purchased them. (No academy in Chicago, maybe?) I ordered these online and had them shipped to Chicago. Delivery was quick. They work and look great, they also have pockets which came in handy for my son's asthma inhaler. The price ... was also very reasonable compared to other life vests which cost $60+. Very pleased with this purchase!

Sized Small
This reviewer rated product 3 out of 5 stars.639012 weeks agoI picked this up since it looked like it would be more comfortable with the mesh top so I would actually wear it while fishing. I bought a large and slipped it on and it seemed to fit. When I got ready to use it, the straps are short and will not let out very far. The Vest was too tight for comfort. Be sure to buckle it when you try it on to assure you have the right size

Decent life vest for the money
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.SammyGuy2 years agoI bought a 4X along with a 3X. I kept the 4X but I usually wear a 3X so it does run small. Other than that it's a decent vest. Not really any decent pockets but I use it during the winter over my jacket and it does that job just fine.

Perfect for what I needed!
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Chris5863 years agoI bought 2 if the onyx life jackets just for use with our boat. When I received them one had a large hole cut into the back (I assume from package opening at the warehouse). I was very upset because we were leaving for our vacation on Saturday and this was on Thursday! I called customer service immediately and was greeted with complete understanding and respect. I received a replacement within the next 24 hours and was very thankful! The life jackets were used for boating and swimming. They were ... perfect and worked very well! Thank you for the great product and amazing customer service!

Great life jackets
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Amdowdy1 year agoI purchased 2 (1 in store and 1 online) of these life jackets for use while using a stand up paddle board. They are very adjustable. My 10 year old daughter and I can wear the same size. She's an average size girl and I'm a size 12 woman. The side straps and shoulder straps allow it to fit a wide variety of sizes. The vest did not interfere with paddling at all. I chose this vest because of the lack of material on the sides that might rub while paddling--that was a good choice. The color is a ... lovely light and darker teal, very true to the picture. After falling into the cold April river waters, I was very happy to have it on. This was a superb choice. Even though i didn't shell out big bucks for a life vest, I can't imagine liking ones any better than these.

A must have for paddling
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.thebunch810 months agoWe purchased four of these a few weeks ago. They design is a must have for paddling, especially for sit in kayaks. Quality seems to be as good as any others we looked at. The price was half of the other brands.

#Comfortable
This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.LouCage705 months agoSince this would be my first inflatable life vest I went to the actual store to try it on. The fit was great and my neck felt free and clear of any annoying rubbing. I'm going to need to have this fit over my waders and winter coat when duck hunting so it has to be comfortable. I see that some other inflatables have a visible window for the cartridge and the arming kit, but I'm not sure that's necessary for waterfowl hunting.

Great value
This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Tony3 weeks agoI got this because I wanted a good vest that was comfortable to wear with the high-back seat on my Pescador Pilot. The pockets are awesome and I like to use the drop-down pocket for my phone. Plenty of storage for my needs, very comfortable, and unbeatable price compared to other kayak fishing vests. And it's USCG approved!

Adult Life Vests
Whether you're kayaking with the family or boating on the lake, a safety vest is a necessity in order to keep everyone safe. Academy Sports + Outdoors has a wide range of life vests available, so you and your loved ones can find the one that fits your needs. Our assortment of adult life vests features large arm holes, so you can move freely and comfortably. With the adjustable belts and zipper closures, you can properly secure the life jacket to your body so you're guaranteed to stay a float.
Life Jackets for Kids and Babies
Ensure the whole family is safe while canoeing in a local river or swimming at the beach with our large selection of kids' life jackets and baby life jackets. Featuring buckles that are strategically located on the back, vests for children make sure your tiny tot keeps his or her life vest on, even when fidgeting in the water. If your child is tired after swimming for long periods of time or becomes injured, the pull strap included on the collar of his or her life vest lets you quickly lift your child from the water and safely into your boat. Our bright, high-visibility jackets are reflective, allowing incoming boats or other water vehicles to see your little ones, even in dark conditions. After you protect your child, consider safeguarding him or her from UV rays with a new pair of sunglasses or invest in waterproof containers to keep valuables like wallets and smartphones dry and intact.
