STAY COMFORTABLE

It’s important to have balance in all aspects of life; that’s why with our neoprene vests, we designed them with not only safety in mind but also comfort. With 100% PVC foam construction and polyester FUG material, these vests are breathable, lightweight, and super soft. Plus, with a sleek design, you can look cool, stay safe, and stay comfortable all day long!

Water Safety Fit Tip: For maximum safety, always fasten the crotch strap first, followed by the front zipper and the waist buckles. Adjust the straps so the vest fits snugly like a secure hug. Test the fit by lifting up firmly on the vest's shoulder panels—it should stay firmly on the child's torso and not slide up past their chin or nose. Children should always be under direct adult supervision when near the water.

FEATURES:

• USCG Type III Certified: Rigorously tested and approved by the United States Coast Guard to provide dependable personal flotation for young children, ensuring a stable, upright position in the water.

• Premium Soft Neoprene Shell: Constructed with a high-grade, ultra-durable neoprene outer shell that feels soft against bare skin. This flexible material eliminates the harsh rubbing, scratching, and chafing common with standard nylon life jackets.

• Beveled Flotation Foam Panels: Filled with lightweight, anatomically contoured foam segments. The panels are strategically tailored to fit a child’s smaller torso, providing substantial flotation without restricting their ability to swim, paddle, or play.

• Adjustable Crotch Strap: Features a vital, heavy-duty crotch strap that buckles securely between the legs. This critical safety feature ensures the child cannot slip downward or slide completely out of the vest while swimming or floating.

• Dual Secure Webbing Belts: Equipped with two adjustable, high-tensile strength nylon straps that wrap around the core. Coupled with quick-release impact buckles, they lock the vest tightly to the body to prevent it from riding up around the child's face.

• Heavy-Duty Front Zipper: Features a rugged, marine-grade front zipper that ensures a secure primary closure and makes putting the vest on or taking it off fast and simple for parents.

• Rapid-Drain Mesh Panels: Designed with integrated mesh drainage zones at the bottom hem. This allows water to exit the vest instantly upon stepping out of the water, keeping the jacket lightweight and quick-drying.
