Leader Accessories Sport I Buoyancy Vest Aid, buoyancy aid, Foam buoyancy aid, CE EN ISO12402 Approval

I used this for 7 days - mostly snorkeling and it worked really well.I am about 38" chest and 66kg. - I bought the Medium. and the fit was perfect.The adjustable strap is strong, and so is the buckle.The zip is also chunky and well made.It easily kept me clear of the water line - i didn't feel as if I was bobbing too high, nor sinking too low.It is not too bulky nor restrictive in movement.Overall, I think the product is well made - it doesnt look or feel cheap.The white colour works well in sunny climes

This product caught my eye as I have been looking for a suitable bouyancy aid to add to our team parachuting equipment. As part of the a Parachute Team we very often jump into arenas near water, and as such we have to have some kind of floatation device in the even that we land in the water - either intentionally or not intentionally,We have been struggling to source something suitable that meets our budget. Most bouyancy aids require you to place over the head and inflate, but we would find it quite difficult to do this in the event we ended up in water for a variety of reasons - not least because our extremely heavy parachute equipment is going to become quickly waterlogged and possibly drag us under the water before we have chance to inflate the aides.Most other vests we have tried have been either too bulky to wear under our equipment or far too expensive for a national charity fundraising team such as ourselves. This fits the bill perfectly. I tried on the small with my rig and, whilst it is quite snug it is nowhere near as cumbersome as other models that we have tried. The problem with most of these devices is that, because the chest is so "bulky", once we put our rig on over the top of it, it alters the locations of our "handles" on the rig. It is still a minor problem with this vest, but nowhere near as bulky as others tested.Whilst it is unlikely to keep us afloat for very long (not really required, as all parachutists are competent swimmers and help should arrive very quickly in planned water-landings) it does satisfy the legal requirements set out by our Governing Body, the BPA - short for British Parachute Association or as sometimes known - Ban Parachuting Altogether :-)I received my first order of this product at a discounted rate in return for an honest review. As a team, we have subsequently decided to purchase 4 more in various sizes to have available for all team members on Parachute Demonstrations on or near water hazards.

It was very good and kept me afloat. Only problem was that it rides up and doesn't stay in line with your chest so it can be very uncomfortable. But still, it was good when I went to the lakes district and will most likely use it next time

Brilliant vest lightweight & functional the support it's gives me swimming in the sea is brilliant feeling more confident in the water now

Comfortable to were not too bulky like some others on the market Used for easy to adjust the straps

Not quite what I expected, chest size smaller than I needed, but manged.

Excellent life vest. I bought this for my little cousin for when she goes to visit her grandparents on there river home.I got the smallest size it was still roomy but the cord on the bottom and the belt in the middle soon made it a snug fit. Will be ideal for winter with a coat underneath. The colour is vibrant so easy spotted if she was to go in the water.A little bit more in money than some other vests but you get what you pay for, this is worth the extra.

Not suitable for Paddle boarding according to my instructor
