I bought this for our 8 year old daughter and it has been an excellent purchase. Great vest at a reasonable price.

The top buckle does not have enough adjustability, so while the other buckles fit fine the top one only is too tight. I find this the case on the 3-buckle teen vest I also purchased, but at least that one is usable. I'll keep the child vest as a spare since it's not worth the cost of shipping it back, but it will not be used for daily use as intended...these both miss the mark.

  • Black Is Hot
  • Difficult To Unbuckle

Best Uses

  • Boating

  • Youth

Comments about Overton's Overton's Youth Nylon Vest:

Bought 4 of these for our kids, 2 in the smaller size and 2 in this size. My kids are all average size for their ages and the jackets fit snuggly, which is good for when they're swimming. My 4 & 6 yr olds wear their jackets for 5-6 hours on weekend days and didn't complain about anything. The buckles are a bit stiff, but that might be because they are still new. I wish the main color wasn't black since it will get hotter as the summer continues. Overall, good jackets at a good price.

        Comments about Overton's Overton's Youth Nylon Vest:

        Searched all over for nice, comfortable, durable life vests at a competetive price. These are as nice and comfortable as much more expensive neoprene vests, but about 1/2 the price. My kids love the color options and super-cool graphics. They enjoy them so much, actually rush to put them on every time.
