The life vest is completely functional, but it came in a solid blue, not the advertised blue/black as in the picture..This was a bit of a let down. It looks more like a basic rental style color, than a more individual life vest.

The Stearns V2 Life Jacket features the revolutionary V-Flex design: a deep vertical "V" sculpted into the back of the vest flexes with your every move, giving you perfect fit, excellent range of motion and outstanding response to your twisting or reaching movements. The innovative ride-up tabs let you easily reposition the vest while wearing it to avoid ride-up. The V2 PFD is made of durable, lightweight, fast-drying neoprene, with supple Glideskin panels. PVC foam in front and PE foam in back ensure buoyancy. The Life Jacket features a clever angled-entry design, as well as a convenient built-in dry ring. This Type III personal flotation device is Coast Guard approved.

Only great things to say about this product, I do a great deal of open ocean swimming - and the the added security of being able to swim 'aggressively' with this vest is great. I purchased a number of vests with this essential design and for the money this vest really is the winner. Can't go wrong with this purchase...

I wanted to get a life jacket that wasn't too bulky, looked good and obviously works well. I have to say I'm pretty happy with this life jacket as it fits those purposes nicely. For sizing I went with the recommended sizes based on chest size that Stearn's website states. When I first put on the vest it felt very snug. I actually like that as it doesn't move or shift at all while I'm in the water. I actually went snorkeling in this vest and it absolutely stayed put without riding up. Despite being snug it feels comfortable and doesn't inhibit movement at all. If you don't want that very snug feel, then you could always go one size larger than the recommended. Otherwise I have no complaints on the look as it has a sleek, sporty and stylish appearance without looking overly bulky. It's very lightweight and you feel like you can do any activity in it without it feeling cumbersome. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Stearns Men's V2 Life Jacket (Sports)
Love the jacket. Very comfortable and side entry is cool. Keeps you afloat like every other certified life jacket but it feels great and looks different. Very happy with my purchase.

Type V Strong Swimmer approved Safety vest for paddlers. Design innovation with extensive on-water testing and a set of features found in no other paddler's Rescue vest. The fit consists of body wrapping ergonomically articulated foam elements: Wrapture ® Foam. Cross chest cinch harness adjustment and self tensioning shoulders provide a close, balanced fit and Gripp-Loc interior non-slip panel gives zero ride-up. Low cut, offset front-zip entry with zipper grip tab and inside back has ventilated lumbar padding. Free-floating suspended shoulder straps are contoured, reverse articulated and stretch with you as you move. Nail Cloth textured surface with stiffeners for portaging and give added shoulder protection. High visibility 3M reflective accents. New innovative pocket system enables expandability and security for a wide range of applications. At the top there's the "Garage" for accessory air inflation hose to rest, with secure D-ring to park your whistle, keys or chap-stick. Next step downward is Self expanding, high capacity main pocket for safety accessories, added buoyancy, camera, snacks, Bullet Bag throw-line and other river tools. Out front is a hands free expandable mesh beverage pocket.
I've been very pleased with this new jacket. It stays in place due to the very grippy neoprene inside, but doesn't bind up or feel as though it's not moving with my torso. You can hardly feel it when it's on. I bought the accessory throw bag (which fits nicely into the huge front pocket), and tow rope. I wish the clip-in for the biner on the tow rope was on the right side but oh well.
All in all a bomber jacket...love the look and I think it's going to last a long time.

Got this to replace my old, well loved, Stohlquist. This thing is by far the best Rescue vest that you could possibly get your hands on. So plush, padded....plus it has a beverage holder pouch on the front, what more could you ask for? Plenty of spine protection in the back, comfy, great location for clips, knife, etc. Don't hesitate, if you do any sort of guiding, creek boating, or just want to be extremely comfy in your life vest, get this one.

This PFD is plenty roomy and allows for very good freedom of movement. The side entry is much easier than the slip on style of the Astral Greenjacket. The shoulder straps have nice padding for portages, when compared to the Kokotat Ronin Pro, which has irritating buckles on the strap that dig into your shoulder. Those were the only three I looked at when buying a rescue PFD, but this one so far doesn't have anything irritating about it which makes it the winner. I only used the quick release once to try it out and it seemed to work fine.
