Love my new PFD

Excellent pfd. Was impressed with delivery speed. I was concerned about sizing but measured using the sizing chart. The fit is perfect and it’s adjustable to get the perfect fit.

Great product

Love my new Vaikobi for paddling OC1. Water and air are cold at this time of year where I’m living. The V3 is comfortable, adds a little warmth and helps very much with visibility. My favorite features are the two easy to reach front pockets and the integrated hydration features. I intend to continue using this even as the water and air warm up. Pleasantly surprised to find zero interference with paddling. Everything on the vest is easy to use and super functional. So glad I bought this!

Fit Tips

If one of your body measurements is in between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your body measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your hip measurement.

How To Measure

WAIST: Measure around the narrowest part (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal.
HIPS: Measure around the widest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal.
CHEST: Measure the fullest area of your chest. Stand up straight and breath normally.
