    Seems durable

    Well I haven't fell out of my boat yet but I do use it. Seems tough & durable though. Came with my kayak so I was grateful it was included. However I do find it hard to sit comfortably in my kayak in it & I find I slip down quite a bit when I wear it to where I'm almost lying down.

    Nice but very basic

    For the money this is a pretty good option for recreational paddlers. At the $50 price point these blow away the big box store offerings of ski type lifejackets that just aren't suited to kayaking.

    I'm 6'2 and 220 lbs, the L/XL size fits me great and would easily fit someone bigger. Most important things first, it's comfortable enough to actually wear and I didn't find it uncomfortable with my kayak's seat. Oh yeah, it also floats me reasonably well. That's probably worth mentioning in a review for a PFD.

    The sleek appearance comes at a cost though, with a total lack of any attachment points or pockets of any kind. I don't normally feel the need to carry a ton of **** with me on the river but the ability to maybe stash my phone in a front pocket is something I've gotten used to with other paddling vests. Other minor annoyances, no good way to deal with the excessively long shoulder strap ends, and at least a small D ring or loop attachment point for a light or whistle would have been nice to see.

    Overall, a perfectly functional paddling jacket at a nice price point if you get it on sale. Not sure I'd recommend it at full price. If you want a storage pocket NRS sells this same jacket with one as the Ion model

    great design

    great design and love the green color! quick release side buckets are very nice for getting off and on. Vest doesn't ride up when you end up in the drink! smooth front allows for no hangups when climbing back in surfski.

    Perfect fit

    I have tried other life jackets and they were just not right. My new NRS Vapor Kayak Lifejacket fit perfectly. It was cut low enough on the neck so I could wear it without rubbing my bad neck. Also the length was good as I am short and it was comfortable for kayaking a long while. I would recommend this life jacket for anyone who has issues with the standard length kind.
