Samuel ★★★★★ Aug 14, 2026

The eggplant color looks even better in person, and the vest stays snug without digging into my shoulders during a full day of canoeing. Sizing was spot on for my frame, which is usually a gamble with paddling gear.

Claire B. ★★★★★ Aug 13, 2026

Took it out on a three-hour river paddle and forgot I was wearing it, which says everything. The flotation panels sit low enough that they don't dig into my ribs when I'm leaning forward to paddle, and the eggplant shade looks even better in person than on the screen.

Fits true to size and the eggplant color looks even better in person. I’ve worn it on a few long kayak trips and the flotation doesn’t shift or ride up, so I forget it’s on after a while.
