BetSEA Personal Flotation Device - Women's

The low-profile Stohlquist BetSEA Women's Personal Flotation Device has contoured cups in the chest for an excellent feminine fit unlike the bulky PFDs you've been suffering with during kayaking trips. The BetSEA's padding rides low so it doesn't rub on your chin, and the cross-chest strap prevents ride-up on this front access PFD. The short cut does not interfere with a spray skirt, and large front pocket gives you a place to store a knife, sunscreen, and other paddling necessities. With nylon-reinforced stretchy shoulders and wide arm openings, the Stohlquist BetSEA provides women a freedom of movement that can't be found in a ‘unisex' PFD.

Bottom Line: The Stohlquist BetSEA Personal Flotation Device allows women the fit and freedom of movement they need for paddling.

Perfect Life Jacket

By:

The fit on this is great since it is so adjustable and made for female bodies. It has never irritated my arms from rubbing against it while paddling like other jackets. The color is also very pretty and you won't look like a nerd in this.

I'm looking for a lifejacket for sailing. I need something

I'm looking for a lifejacket for sailing. I need something small and flat so it won't get caught on anything (boom, lines, etc) when I'm crossing the boat. Is this a good lifejacket?

I have a large back and large bust. This is such a comfortable fit! The color is a very tasteful sage. The front doesn't ride up on your chin while you paddle because of the extra straps at the front. I also tried on the adjust-a-bust but this fit much better although it is slightly bulkier at the belly.

I love this life jacket because it's specially tailored to a women's body. It fits more comfortably than any other life jacket I've tried out and is comfy for kayaking.

Awesome Woman's PFD

Bought the vest for my wife. It's hard finding a vest that she's comfortable in due to her large chest. The BetSEA fits her like a glove. She's estatic. Thanks.

bought the jacket for kayaking and wore it today. i ended up in the Hudson and the jacket kept me afloat until i could get back in the kayak. i am a very large person and was very impressed with the bouyancy and the quality of the vest when being helped into the kayak. the jacket fit great and i forgot i had it on as a paddled on the beautiful Hudson.

Loved it!

I got this life jacket for a trip to Maui with my family for when we were to go snorkeling and it worked great. Was comfortable to wear the entire day out on the boat and in the water. The cut around the arms made it easy to wear while swimming around also. I didn't notice any wear at all for the week it was tossed around and used and it didn't take in any of the salt water smell either.
