quality item, shipped fast. Havent used it yet (deployed), and hope I don't have to honestly. It fits well, and I expect it will work as advertised. I bought for fishing swift, cold, rocky and slippery river bottoms when where wading, or moving from hole to hole by boat. A full vest gets in the way of casting, fishing. With this item, if you slipped on rocks and were carried into main current, you'd have a excellent chance of escaping situation. With nothing, you'd be in trouble.

I haven't used it yet - I noticed it has no crotch strap to prevent it from floating up under the arms and leave a head under water yet. The tether loop mounted low and in front could have an assigned short strap to be hooked to a belt loop to keep it in place in the event the floatation tries to pull off over the head.

I bought this life jacket after using the bulky ones for the last 30 years. I'll never go back. This one is well built, easy to charge, easy to wear and very comfortable in warm weather. I have no complaints at all except the fear that something will snag the manual inflate handle. I just tucked it up inside the sleeve. Problem solved. This is a great unit at a great price.

Much more comfortable then a standard PFD. I chose to us mine in the manual configuration only so it doesn't deploy until I chose. The nice thing is you can use it in automatic or manual. The auto configuration will deploy if it gets wet. In manual it will only deploy when you jersey the cord. Construction is good. It is easy to adjust and fits well. I did not test it yet, but if you watch the videos on Onyx Web site it appears to work well.

Shipping took less than a week, ****** responded to my only question which was regarding whether the cylinder is included or not, and YES IT IS INCLUDED. I would definitely repeat buying from this ******. As for the PFD it self: - IMPORTANT: This PFD is US coast guard approved. There are other quality and good reviewed Inflatable PFD’s out there, that have different certifications, but are not US Coast guard approved. So keep this in mind. - I have not tried it on the water yet. But I did a lot of research online about different types of Inflatable PFD’s and their firing mechanism. If this is your 1ST inflatable PFD like me, it can be a bit confusing. -So here is the summary: There are two main types of inflatable PFD’s: Auto and Manual only. This ONYX PFD has an option to switch from Auto to Manual only mode. All inflatable PFD’s (including Auto) can be inflated by pulling the “jerk to inflate” handle and or by plowing air into the mouth piece. There are different types of firing mechanisms. This specific PFD gets inflated when the yellow bobbin gets wet then it triggers the firing pin which then pierce the CO2 cylinder causing the PFD to inflate. If you switch it to the “manual only” mode, it will not get inflated unless you pull the “jerk to inflate” handle. The manual only PFD’s are ideal for when you are worried about accidental firing/inflating. For my fishing and boating needs the automatic mode is recommended. If however, i wear this while skiing or with similar activities, I will have to switch it to manual only mode to prevent it from accidental inflating. - Important: The PFD gets delivered “unarmed”. You must arm it by installing the CO2 cylinder before putting it on. Doing so is easy enough, yet it’s a bit intimidating if it’s you first ever inflatable PFD and if you are trying to rely only on the text manual. Watch these YouTube manuals and you will find it so easy to setup and arm. 1) Rearming and repacking instruction video:youtu.be/Wy6aEZxJsnA 2) Switching from “Auto” to “Manual only” mode video:youtu.be/gMFGwHZyp1A - It’s also recommended to buy and carry a rearming kit which you need to rearm the PFD and to replace the CO2 cylinder each time you inflate the PFD. Make sure it’s the compatible rearming Kit “”Onyx A/M-24 Rearming Kit for Automatic/Manual Models ONYX KIT ITEM#K320 or part #1002295. Sold on walmart /ip/Onyx-A-M-24-Rearming-Kit-for-Automatic-Manual-Models/21439606 for $19. - Rearming kit should include: (1) 24-gram CO2 cylinder with a 1/2-inch thread (2) yellow water-soluble bobbin for automatic activation - this should not be older older than 3 years from the production date and some recommended that it should be replaced at least once a year (3) green indicator clip - Fit is nice and it’s very light weight. - Appearance is very basic but I don’t care much - It comes with a mesh carrying bag which is nice.

I really like the size and feel of this life jacket. It's comfortable and I have no trouble fishing in it. Does it work as described? I don't know as I haven't fallen overboard yet, so I would say it works just fine.

Just returned from week trip on Truman Lake. My new Onyx vest is excellent. The quality is outstanding. It is light weight and comfortable to wear. And the vest will fit larger than a 52" chest. I'm a 53 chest and it was cold and rainy so I had a heavy jacket and a rain suit under it. No problem. If you are concerned about getting splashed and the vest inflating. Let me say It rained all morning one day and vest was fine. There are many many other life vest out there. Many at twice the price of the Onyx. I did my shopping and this is a great deal. I have even seen this brand worn by several fisherman on the World Fishing Network. Great value for your buck.

Nice easy to adjust straps with plenty of instruction for use, loading and storing. I saved enough to buy 2 for one compared to the store prices.

This was a gift for my husband. He likes to go fishing and often goes by himself. I feel much better with him fishing with this life jacket. Often he wouldn't wear a life jacket, because it was too bulky to wear while fishing. Hopefully he will never need to use this.
