I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Is this USCG approved?

Yes, but only when worn (by someone at least 16 yrs old and over 80 lbs). This means that if the USCG pulls you over for an inspection, and they require a life vest for each passenger on board, this type of vest will only count as a personal floatation device if it was being worn BEFORE (and while) being stopped for inspection. So if it is laying in your lap when you get pulled over, it does NOT count as a PFD (you have to have a conventional vest also). If you have it properly strapped onto your chest when pulled over, it DOES count as one of your life vests. Strange, but that's how the USCG views it.

Does this item fit a xxxl person?
