Comments about Type II Near Shore Buoyant Vests:
We have been using these jackets in their original bags for years on our dive boats at our resort in Fiji. They have a good top mesh edge so if they get wet, they drain and dry out well.
The zip is plastic so doesnt rust out, and is a lot better than the velcro on other bags which 'fluffs up' and wears out after a couple of years.
Service and delivery comments:
We ship to the Marina Del Mar (CA) shop for pick up when we fly thru LAX to trade shows in USA. Always there on time and easy. No shipping charges, beat that! Everything shipped together without any delay or backorder. Good job!

Comments about Type II Near Shore Buoyant Vests:
Bought a set of these with storage case a number of years ago. Good price, very convenient and relatively durable clear storage with zipper. Easy to put on and very lightweight. Not the most comfortable, but excellent flotation. Dries quickly. Overall a good value.
