            This vest feels comfortable and fits "right". I have used it on a tube and just for laying back in the water and it felt great for both. My "portly" figure wasn't restricted like some other vests and this one also didn't ride up on me. [...]

                  • Q:

                    Does the floatation area around the bottom of the vest stay the same thickness. I have employees that are required to wear life jackets to service water pumps at different locations throughout the day. They are looking for a life jacket that does not have a bulge in the back area that is uncomfortable as they are driving from one location to another. They do not like to have to constantly remove them and then put them back on????
