Comments about Runabout Vest Four Pack with Bag:
C.A.S.T. for Kids events give disabled and disadvantaged young people a day of outdoor adventure. Children learn to fish, receive a rod & reel, tackle box, and enjoy other activities and special entertainment provided by state agencies, the C.A.S.T. and community volunteers. The young anglers are educated about boating safety, ethics of fishing and natural resources. This product fits for these special kids and to continue our program.

Comments about Runabout Vest Four Pack with Bag:
I recently bought a new sailboat, and the existing set of life jackets were worn out. I bought this set and it stows neatly, is easy to get jackets out of for my non-swimming guests, and is as comfortable to wear as one could hope from a full jacket.

Best Uses
Comments about Runabout Vest Four Pack with Bag:
I found these to be a poor design. 1) In my view they simply do not fit tall people or longer torso people - too short and very uncomfortable. 2) The vertical webbing in back is not enough to prevent the lowest belt from falling off the back pad as one moves around, undermining the fit - there should be two, one on either flank to keep the belts in place 3) they ride up too easily to be safe. It is difficult to get a stable adjustment because simply moving around tends to cause the fit to shift. I think it is due to lack of front zipper and side panels. To get a good fit, you have to tighten the belts too much. That makes them too tight too high on the chest. Overall, they are an inexpensive way to meet USCG requirement, seem well constructed, but in my view, only marginal performers as safety devices.

These life jackets will be used by the green Lake Sailing School and are perfect for those times when someone forgets or doesn't have their own vest. Very good value for the money
