Onyx Paddle Kayak Life Vest

The Onyx Universal Paddle Kayak Life Vest offers comfort and performance for all paddlers. It features a "flex-cut" paddle-specific design that reduces the front foam thickness, providing ease of paddling and a more contoured fit. The vest is low profile, lightweight, and has six adjustment straps for a snug, custom fit. It is available in two sizes: Universal fits chest sizes 30"-52" and Oversize fits chest sizes 40"-60".

The vest has a low profile, lightweight, and compact design, making it comfortable to wear. It also has a high foam back that accommodates high back seats, and a breathable mesh lower back for added comfort. The six adjustable straps allow you to cinch the vest up for a snug fit. Additionally, it features a large front pocket for storing essentials.

Now let's address some frequently asked questions:

Question: I'm confused: are the "one size" and the "universal" the same size? If not, which is the larger? I'm 5'2" and weigh 160.

Answer: The universal size fits chest sizes of 30"-52", while the oversize size fits chest sizes of 40"-60".

Question: What chest sizes for regular and oversized?

Answer: The regular size is designed for chest sizes of 30"-52". However, some users have reported that it may be too thick and bulky for those with a chest size smaller than 44 inches.

Question: Is this safe to use for other water sports like boating, swimming, tubing, and surfing in addition to paddleboarding?

Answer: The life vest is very buoyant and should work fine for any water sports. It is similar to a regular life vest but has a mesh lower back for added comfort specifically for kayakers.

Question: The sizing is confusing. Universal seems out of stock. What is oversize? I need a large.

Answer: The oversize option is similar to a large or extra-large size. It fits most adults snugly, unless you are quite small.
