VENNERLI Inflatable Jacket Swimming Waistcoat Kayak Fishing Snorkeling Buoyancy Jacket Swimming Jacket Brightly Coloured Vest Suitable for Water Sports Adults Only

I got this to use when I do kayaking or open swimming with my nephew as I am a bit cautious with water.I will be honest, The piece of instructions that comes with it, is confusing and not clear.The advertising makes it look like its for all water sports and swimming, yet the card has it ticked for a floatation type scenario.it also deters me to use it , as at the bottom it says the item can deteriorate quickly from UV rays, salty water. So really its not a many use item then?It also clearly states, not for use for any water sports where a person enters the water at high speed, why? does it explode. That concerned me.It isn't very clear, but the product itself feels sturdy and fits perfectly for me.It's as comfy as a jacket will get, mesh back and inflatable front.Bright orange is vibrant and easy to see from a far.I am not sure at it being priced for £16.99. I feel for fact, it is just an inflatable jacket. Seems a bit highly priced.

Very easy to inflate and deflate and looks nice on. Fits me perfectly and securely. Very comfortable to wear with the mesh back. Great for paddle boarding. Very easy to pack too for camping and travel as it folds flat and lightweight. Seems sturdy and well made with good quality and thick material.

ProsBasic Buoyancy Compensator , Average Quality Materials and Construction .This Device is Maybe OK for Small , Slow Flowing Rivers and Small Lakes , I Personally would Only use this for Paddle Boarding .This Device is Good for Paddle Boarding, because you can move your Arms Freely , as the Buoyancy Compensator does not "Rub" or restrict between your Arms & Body.At just over the cost of 3.5 pints of Lager in the Pub , this is Just OK Value for Money for this Buoyancy Compensator. ( Not a LIFE Jacket )ConsThis Device is Only OK for Small Slow Flowing Rivers and Small Lakes , I would NOT use this for Average to Large Lakes and 100% Not for the SEA .The Label on the "Buoyancy Compensator" quotes : -"This Product is Only a Buoyancy Compensator Device it is Not the Professional Life Jacket, does NOT Protect against Downing".Please Note :- A 100 Newton Life Jacket should be Made to European Standard EN 395 , this Buoyancy Compensator is NOT Made to EN 395 .

Comfortable and keeps you busy buoyant .Easy to put on a good price and is not restrictive.Giving mobility and functionality.

So as stated in the piece of paper that comes with the jacket, this is not a life jacket and not something you should 'fully depend' on.This is perhaps not clear when you buy the jacket but it is stated with the product. The vest itself is clearly quite cheaply made, the straps particularly are of the lowest quality material you can get and the plastic clips don't feel much better. This doesn't feel robustly made. I should add I am six foot tall, a 36" waist and this fits me okay and would probably fit a 38" waist too, anything much bigger and I don't think the staps will reach.It does inflate fine and I'm sure it works to a degree. The main issue, quality aside, I have with this is one of the straps has to go under your legs and in order to get the vest tight enough that its not going to pull away and off you in the water this is quite uncomfortable and does restrict freedom of movement though it does keep it pretty well anchored in place.I think this device is probably better than nothing and it is not expensive but at the same time it isn't comfortable and doesn't feel at all durable.

I ordered a VENNERLI Inflatable Jacket Swimming Waistcoat in pink.I chose it in pink, as it is highly visible.The colour is very bright and vibrant.It is very versatile and could be used for kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, buoyancy, water sports, etc.I ordered it to take snorkeling on a holiday abroad.I know how to swim, but I will feel safer wearing this jacket.It seems to be well-made.I usually wear a size M top, and this jacket fits me well and comfortably.It is, of course, adjustable.The zipper works well and glides smoothly.It was easy and quick to inflate; it keeps the air well, but it has a quick blow valve just in case.Easy to inflate and deflate, compact in size when not in use, nicely designed, very versatile, and reasonably priced, so I would happily recommend it.* On dangerous water, I would prefer to wear a proper life vest.

Very easy to inflate with the mouth piece, doesn’t take up much space. Could have come with a drawstring bag for travel though especially at £16.99. I would have also like to see it inflate at the back too rather than be fabric that seems like it could rip easily.

This life jacket seems to be well made. It was very easy to inflate within 1min.Zipp is super strong. Life jacket size is adjustable.Also nice design.Perfect for paddle boarding, doesnt restric movement as much as my old one.I do recommend it.
