    Am extremely pleased with the

    Am extremely pleased with the NRS cVest PFD. I looked for my size and color at multiple online sports equipment providers but couldn't find what I was wanted. I came across outdoorplay.com and was pleasantly surprised to see you had my size and color. I ordered the PFD on a Monday and was delighted when it showed up on my doorstep on Thursday. With great service like that (as well as a great selection), I'll be back for future purchases.

    Functional, stylish, well made

    Pockets and D-rings are very functional, the red vest looks really sharp, and all the seams are nicely done. The fit is very good, as well. Only complaint ,purely cosmetic, is that the back section does not lay flat against the back. I tends to protrude back away from the body. Not a deal breaker, though.

    Pockets...I want pockets.

    I sea kayak and want pockets for whistles, nose plugs, lights and flares. I like a zipper in front so I can take it off and put it on easily like a jacket. I like the high waist that is above the cockpit coaming. I looked at many and decided on this one. The floatation is a bit stiff but it's still new and may conform to my body after some use.

    I would recommend this vest.

    You don't know you're wearing it, and that is a good thing.
