My husband is, well hard to say nicely, he’s short 5”7’ and chunky 250 lbs. So kayak PFDs are hard for him to find. This one has such a wide ability to customize he can get into it comfortably then adjust to be comfortable and safe. The high back is his favorite part because he has a removable seat to deal with. The pockets and areas to connect things to are plentiful and he loves this thing. He jumped in the freezing pool with it and it will definitely keep him floating until a whale crane can pluck him out of the lake.

Quality durable materials perfect for kayak fishing. Like the large pockets easily fits large cellphone. Adjustability is good so much better than using a boat PFD, this doesnt interfere with yak seat.

I use this vest for my fishing kayak. Doesn't interfere with me paddling and is comfortable for all day use. Plenty of pocket storage space for your gear and I even hung fishing tools and a knife on mine. Great purchase.

I checked questions and answers before purchasing and glad I did!. There is no difference between the flotation of the L/XL and the XXL versions. Only difference is the length of the straps to allow more adjustability. Also, there was some comments about how the straps seem overly long. These must be true, because I purchased the L/XL version and I am 6ft-250lbs. The jacket fits great and the straps are still way long. My son is 6-1" and 225lb and he is looking for ways to tuck-in the excess straps. The XXL would only be needed for someone over 300lb in my estimation. Jacket seems well made. Fits is great and light. High back perfect for even the tall backrest of a kayak. Pockets are great. We will send another review after a few trips.

I’m happy overall with this vest. Fits well, comfortable and plenty of pockets to store whatever I need while kayak fishing. Only complaint is the zipper broke on the small zippered pocket (within a bigger pocket) on the left side. This happened shortly after I began using it - so kind of disappointing there. But overall this is a nice life vest.

I love this PFD for Kayaking. I don't even notice I am wearing it even after hours of use. The nice thing is that the back portion is up high so when you are seated you aren't leaning against it. And the back has a nice mesh to keep you cool. Plenty of pockets to store stuff. I even put my VHF radio in one of the pockets. I highly recommend this PFD.

I'm not a small guy (5'11 230ish lbs). This PFD fits really well. The pockets are great. I bought it for kayak fishing. I will say when it is zipped and I am seated it is difficult to bend over. Fortunately there's a waist buckle inside of the vest, I'm able to keep the vest unzipped yet still buckled for more ventilation and mobility. Overall its very comfortable comfortable and well worth it.
