Onyx Air Span Breeze USCG Approved Paddling Life Jacket

The fit is great and very comfortable. The appearance compared to other life vests is great. The quality of the vest and materials is great, the pockets are huge and hold my s21+ with a waterproof protector. I use it for dragonboat training/races as well as paddleboarding and plenty of room for arm movement. Great value for the money and happy I spent the extra money to get a great fitting vest with large pockets that allows me a lot of arm movement for the water activities I participate in!

As a shrimpy human who uses life vests for jet skiing, I am forever on the search for a short life vest that is CGA approved, fits small enough, and not too bulky. This one is mostly it. Very very adjustable with a nice easy in/out zipper. I have a short torso, and I can adjust this so it doesn't ride up at the shoulders when I am seated on my PWC. It has 2 convenient pockets and looks sharp. I bought what is labeled as blue, but is mostly gray with blue and black highlights. There are a few small less than perfect things to mention. First, it is a little thick and I would love to see this same vest in a neoprene version. Second, while the waist straps are very adjustable and handy, when they are tightened there is no place to tuck or secure the extra strap. There is a stow away area for the shoulder straps though, which is great. Lastly, there isn't a D ring, which I always appreciate (but can manage without). Some have commented that the material feels a little cheap, and I can see that perspective since it's made with a very light thin material and the zippers are plastic. This does make the vest lighter, which is a plus. Time will tell how it wears. For my purposes, it will be minimally challenged as it's not likely to be employed in water.

Use this when paddle boarding. Feels great on and allows for easy movement

Using this for my SUP session and it fits well. Very comfortable and I love the color.

Great vest for the kayak, and best price on Amazon

Wanted to love this vest due to the trendy look and color scheme however I had to return as the padding in the front and the back was too hard and thick for me and it felt really uncomfortable. I was able to return successfully with the seller however the vest was $110 at the time I purchased & I had to pay shipping for the return from AB to ON (when the vest was sent from within AB) which cost me $40 so I did take a loss despite receiving the full refund.

Stitching on the very front of the vest (exactly where you can see it) is all messed up and crooked. I expected better quality.
