Hawaii Auntie
After our friend went missing during a solo paddle in the ocean, with no life vest or tracking device, we are now wearing this vest. It does NOT impede my stroke at all. I have hulied and was able to swim under my boat to the other side and able to reach and pull my boat back over. On hotter days, I just dunk before jumping on my boat. Problem solved. Been wearing it a couple weeks and feel like my confidence is improved having the vest on.

Best Vaikobi PFD on the Market
Absolutely love my new Fluro Green Vaikobi PFD. It's a perfect snug fit, very light and great storage pockets. I sometimes forget I'm wearing it when sweeping a dragon boat or kayaking. The competition just can't match Vaikobi for product quality or delivering exactly what the consumer is asking for. I have purchased many Vaikobi products over the years and I simply don't bother looking anywhere else, because, IMO, a higher quality product just doesn't exist!

Love it!
My first PFD as new to kayaking. Ordering process was super simple, quality is great and looks pretty good too. Can't wait to actually try it (when my kayak eventually arrives). Order a couple of other items since this to be fair!
