youth safety vest

Sizes listed include Child (about 30–50 lb), Youth (about 50–90 lb), and adult sizes (Adult Universal and Superlarge).

Commonly listed ranges are: Child ≈ 30–50 lb (one spec shows 33–55 lb) and Youth ≈ 50–90 lb (one spec shows 55–88 lb).

They are US Coast Guard–approved Type III personal flotation devices and are UL-listed in the product details.

Outer materials are polyester (some listings specify polyester Cordura) and the flotation core is closed-cell PE foam.

They use buckle closures with 1" adjustable, quick-release straps. Many versions include an additional 1" strap that runs between the legs (crotch strap) to help prevent the vest from riding up.

Vests are offered in bright, high-visibility colors and color-block designs (often a bright exterior with a black interior) to improve on-water visibility.

Open sides and a low-profile, breathable fit provide improved freedom of arm movement and mobility for paddle sports like kayaking.

Listed adult sizing includes an Adult Universal that fits roughly 30"–52" (chest/belly) and a Superlarge option that extends to about 50"–60".
