Comments: I used this vest for years of tournament fishing. It fits comfortably without the bulk. It needed to be re-armed after the expiration date. The re-arming kit cost me $90.00. It's worth the cost when your life is on the line.

Comments: I've had this vest for several years now. I've worn it literally 50+ times a year from launch to go home. It does get a little heavy on the shoulders after 8+ hours, but nothing unmanageable or unexpected. I've reached it once when the expiration date called for it and it was very straightforward and simple. My only real complaint is the soft rubber/neoprene around the neckline has started to melt, and it leaves a sticky black goo on my neck and my shirts. Im assuming this is due to a reaction with sunscreen? So I'd like to see an option away from that rubber.From: Jay: Irondale, ohio 9/26/20
Comments: First time using this vest(red color) and I am impressed. I put it on when I got in the boat at 6:00 AM and didn't take it off until i got out of the boat at 11:30 AM. Very comfortable. Now I have no excuse to not wear a life vest. Now i just have to remember to attached the safety lanyard for motor shut off.Highly recommend. 3 ways to inflate: auto, manual release, blow up tube.I'm a big guy and the vest has plenty of room to expand. 5'11" 230 lbs.

Comments: I was a little skeptical about spending so much on a vest, but after using it, I found it to be worth every penny. It's super comfortable which allows me to wear it all day while fishing and pretty much forget I even have it on.Won't go off in rain or high humidity like other auto inflate vests. Definitely happy with my purchase.

Comments: This vest is great. I ordered it during the winter so had to wait until now to get some water time with it. The vest is very small and does not add any restriction to movement. I paddle my yak around while fishing, and fishing while sitting down has its own set of issues. I decided this was the vest for me, because of the HIT technology. I get caught out in the rain and get splashed a lot while paddling and fishing the rivers here in CT. This is a vest I ware vise the other lifejackets that I just carried with me. The cost is high, but what is the value of safety?
