Amazing Fit

I read a number of google reviews about vests prior to my purchase. My first experience with this brand and I am now going to be buying more products from you guys. This PFD is so comfortable, you don't even notice you're wearing it when kayaking. I love the front mesh pocket, perfect for your phone, Epirb, snacks, water etc. Everything fits nice and snug without getting in the way. Not only are you safe, but these look cool on as well.

VXP shines in cold weather

Purchased the VXP as a safer alternative to my belt PFD in cold weather (Canada’s East Coast). Very impressed by the fit that allows for maximum SUP mobility and allows for easy recovery from a fall without the bulk of a traditional PFD.

The Vaikobi VXP PFD is an excellent choice for Sea Kayaking

The Vaikobi Life jacket six a great choice if you want to your arms free of obstructions when paddling. You can carry a marine radio, camera, small gps and other stuff in a large frontal pocket that makes it easy to get to when tethered to the provided loops in the upper pocket of the vest. The back has a pocket to carry up to a 1.5 Liter Blatter. The Hydration Pack that is sold by Vaikobi is a perfect fit that I would recommend.

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.
