Stearns Adult Classic Series Life Vest

PFDs are not famous for their luxurious and comfortable fit, so having owned some in the past and used 'loaners', this one lived up / down to expectations. I'm a decent swimmer, so I bought this for compliance to water safety regulations (albeit its intended use on gentle float streams or lakes). One of the problems is rubbing on the edges of the arm holes while paddling a canoe or kayak. The other problem comes up when trying to climb out of the boat/kayak using a ladder. Just when you're most likely to fall into the water, the chafing and restraint of motion characteristics of the vest are the worst. I don't know how to fix this problem, but maybe someone will invent a more ergonomic vest. In short, it works as expected and the price is fine.
