REVIEWS
- SWSeth W.Verified BuyerReviewingNRS cVest Lifejacket (PFD)I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoLike a glove
I’m 52yo 6’3” 200lbs typical dad-ish bod and this life jacket fits perfect. I have a short torso and was worried the L-XL was going to be riding up. It does not. Plenty of storage for my needs with all these pockets. Nice bright colors to keep you visible on the water. The adjustment straps are on the long side. No restriction with arm movement while paddling. Really happy with the vest.

Am extremely pleased with the NRS cVest PFD. I looked for my size and color at multiple online sports equipment providers but couldn't find what I was wanted. I came across outdoorplay.com and was pleasantly surprised to see you had my size and color. I ordered the PFD on a Monday and was delighted when it showed up on my doorstep on Thursday. With great service like that (as well as a great selection), I'll be back for future purchases.
- AAAndres A.Verified BuyerReviewingNRS cVest Lifejacket (PFD) (Closeout)I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoFunctional, stylish, well made
Pockets and D-rings are very functional, the red vest looks really sharp, and all the seams are nicely done. The fit is very good, as well. Only complaint ,purely cosmetic, is that the back section does not lay flat against the back. I tends to protrude back away from the body. Not a deal breaker, though.
