BLUESTORM Stratus 35 Inflatable Life Jacket PFD for Adults | US Coast Guard (USCG) Approved Automatic Self Inflating Life Vest Preserver with Manual Ripcord

Nice and comfortable. Gives you extra protection. Easy setup for CO2. Fast inflation when I jumped into the water just to test. It inflated in a blink of an eye, way sooner than I could pulled the cord. Easy to repack and reactivate. A must have as it can save you in case something would happen on the water, just knowing you wouldn't have to panic reaching for the manual release cord.

Very cool. East set up. One cartridge was packaged in left side ( Velcro compartment ) inside of small black slip. Goes on easy like a vest, feels very secure with curve in vest to contour to body. Secures with one buckle, fast off/on! Once the vest is on, all accessories on vest are easily accessible. Movement is not restrictive, and no huge amount of pressure on my diaphragm or lungs. Easy adjustment strap (check if you’ll fit first since there are no alternative sizes, only one ‘universal’ size) seems like quality parts- the back strap adequately pulls the neck harness away from my neck so it won’t rub/touch when I turn my head or give me a rub on the noggin (for baldies)although if I had a short(er) neck than ‘average’ I think it might touch the back of my head/neck more than I’d like just a heads up (pun dad joke intended). Everything seems quality even instructions (located in right Velcro compartment) were easy reading with all included info needed for rearming and part numbers

Meets the needs of a casual paddler. Lightweight and comfortable which encourages wearing it while paddling. Easily adjusted. Self inflation is easy enough. My other PFD inflates when wet, and this one does not, but at least I can wear it while it's raining.

FYI, to minimize the packaging they pack the CO2 cartridge actually inside the velcro sealed packed vest itself on the OPPOSITE SIDE of where it will be used. It is very easy to look through all the packaging and believe no cartridge was included.Good quality and functionality. Some other vests have a method of clipping the inflation pull ring out of the way so it doesn’t accidentally snag. This one leaves it dangling, but at least it is shaped to avoid snags. The lower strap goes up high around the back so it’s just below the shoulder blades rather than down near the waist. This would make it hard to add a strap to go under the crotch as is often required. Although it doesn’t strap around the waist, waist size is the only description of my body size I can give. This vest fits well around my pretty heavy (ok, fat!) 42” waist body. However, it wouldn’t go much larger than that.

Very nice top of the line life jacket. Very comfortable to wear. It does work. Jump in the water and test it. Then you'll understand how good the product is. Works perfectly. Buy extra air cartridges. Highly recommended. Fast shipping. Very satisfied customer.

very comfortable. fits me well,Fished all day and didn't bother me . im 5'7"- 210lbs.

These are the third brand that I’ve tried of inflatable vest, and they fit the best of all of them.We enjoy high performance boating, and I trust these with our life.

This is a product I have yet to test. However, very comfortable to wear. I am not a vest man, especially on a boat, I don't like being super safe, wearing a helmet, old school stupid. Maybe.I don't mind wearing this vest anytime on the water because its so light and fits good, its never in my way or feel like overkillI'm 6'4" 225 lbs. and it sits nicely. I especially like the way it wraps behind your neck making it even more comfortable
