    I use the vest for kyacking and Hobie Cat sailing where you are constantly getting wet. The vest being vinyl coated dries very quickly. The vests are very soft and when you get wet when it's a little windy and cool can keep you warm. Same goes for when you land in the some cool water. They adjust easily and they don't ride up on your body. They are also the most comfortable vests I've worn too.

      I've been buying this type of vest for over twenty years, I won't buy any other vest. Doesn't get water logged, not wet when used a second time. Just a perfect vest. We own 8, from 2x to Small, the entire family wears this vest.

        Comments about Overton's Vinyl Adult Flotation Vest:

        My sons love these vests. They hated wearing wet cloth vests for the ride home at the end of the day. These ones can be quickly wiped dry with the exception of the external straps. Kids can put on their clothes and vest for the chilly ride back to the marina at the end of the day without getting wet from the vest.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Our children waterski, tube, wake surf in this life jacket! They have the neoprene ones as well but prefer this because it isn't wet when they put it back on!

            The "supersoft" is the best floatation device for boaters. My kids have used them for over 10 years. They don't get heavy wet upon a second use, so there's no fighting about putting a heavy, wet jacket on. Lightweight feel to them

            I like the soft vinyl vest. They do not get waterlogged and drag a lot of water into the boat. You also do not have to put on a cold wet vest for your next run.

              the bright yellow color makes it a save, easy to see lifejacket for water skiing and tubing. It never gets heavy by retaining water, so always lightweight to wear.

                  THIS WAS PERFECT FOR OUR 90 POUND GRANDSON. HE IS TOO LARGE FOR YOUTH SIZES, BUT MOST ADULT SIZES ARE TOO LONG IN THE BODY. THIS WORKED BECAUSE IT IS SHORT IN LENGTH COMPARED TO SIMILAR ADULT XS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IS HARD TO PUT ON AND TAKE OFF BECAUSE IT IS VERY STIFF.

                    My wife wanted an old style vinyl life jacket when she was a kid (she's in her mod 40's now). Fits her great and doesn't hold water and soak the boat like other life jackets. She's happy so I'm happy,

                        If you get the correct size in the chest then the jacket should be able to float you without a problem.
