OnyxMoveVent Curve Paddle Sports Life Vest

It’s not the cheapest option on Amazon right now but it’s worth the splurge! The jacket gives you room to paddle, has the mesh for comfort and feels like good quality.

This is a very comfortable life vest, good fit, not bulky, and I’m excited to use it paddle boarding! Glad I picked this one!! Worth the money vs a cheaper bulky vest.

High quality well made life vest. Roomy, not tight, adjustable and I got bright yellow for my possibly needed rescue. Beginner status here. It is also fashionable. Love it can’t wait to wear it.

This is a good no-nonsense life vest, quality build, good colors, gives me total freedom of movementin the kayak. The zipper, as others have mentioned, is a bit of a struggle at first, but after a week, it'sa breeze to zip. No pockets or pouches to speak of, but overall, a very nice vest.

This is a great little life vest for paddling. I wear it for stand up paddle boarding, and it is comfortable, allows for good arm movement, and good ventilation. I used it once while volunteering at a swim race. A swimmer was swimming straight toward me, and I was trying to get his attention thinking he was off course. When he grabbed my board, knocking me off, I realized he was actually in trouble and wanting help. Glad I had this on because that surprised me. The vest did a great job keeping me afloat while I helped the swimmer and got us back to my board. I actually lost the vest recently, so just now ordered another one. The way I lost it was I was paddling by moonlight in calm water looking at the stars. I was using the vest as a pillow. It wasn't attached to me or the board. When I got up to paddle again, the water was choppier so a few moments later, I went to get it to put it on, and whoops, it had fallen off. Being dark, and the current going the other way, I didn't try to look for it. Lesson learned. Always wear it, or at very least attach it to your board! Also, put your name and number in permanent ink. That way, if you do lose it, maybe someone will find it and call you.

I recently purchased entry level kayaks and am fairly new to this activity. I had rented kayaks previously and used the "to wear" rental provided PFD. I found these rental PFDs very uncomfortable to wear and paddle in, the crazy things made me feel like a turtle they way they would ride up and hit my chin! This ONYX vest is very, VERY comfortable and easy to paddle in. The front is cut lower and does not ride up to my chin. The lower back is cut higher and fits perfectly for the backrest of my kayak. It seems well constructed and sturdy. I am not a terribly strong swimmer and I feel very safe in this vest. I have two kayaks and purchased a basic keyhole PFD for the second kayak - which is fine for stong, confident swimmers to "take" on the kayak but plan on getting another ONYX vest to offer my kayak guests as well. Probably the one improvement I would make to this vest is a zippered pocket, but the lack of one isn't a deal-breaker for me. Highly recommend this life vest.

These are great! Love the way the back is shorter to allow my actual back to be against the back of the paddleboard seat! They are not too hot since they have ventalation slits all around. Does not interfere at all with my paddling- actually easy to forget you're even wearing it. I chose yellow for visibility since I do kayak in waters with motor boats around. Life vest is not something to go cheap on- I'd say these are well worth the price!

I kayaked with this life vest on for four hours and it was very comfortable. I tried lots of different life vests on at stores and couldn’t find one I liked. I took a chance and ordered this one and I’m satisfied with it.

Je fais du kayak et je l’adore on se sent à l’aise

Esta muy bien hecho y cumple con las necesidades. Esta muy cómodo para remar

I use it for paddleboarding and feels comfortable, allow free movement. It’s adjustable so one size can fit different body types. Great quality.

Item as described, perfect fit and great for kayaking.
