BLUESTORMAtmos 40 Automatic/Manual Inflatable PFD Life Jacket for Adults | US Coast Guard (USCG) Approved Life Vest

I'm a full figure guy and this adjuster's Great. Light and don't have any issues with the neck as noted by others. I run early in the morning and fish by myself most of the time. I got it to wear while running and is very comfortable. The ring is a bit high to connect the kill switch cord to...so just use my belt loop. Highly suggest. Going to buy the same brand for my wife "if" available in a lighter style

Light durable and always easy to fish and wear this vest.

Light weight. No automatic inflation over ride. Velcro holding float pouch closed failed numerous times. Not advisable for activity requiring heavy use of arms.

This item looks to be very high quality. I haven't been rescued by it yet, however, I've only ever worn it while sitting on my couch. It is surprisingly comfortable. I did manually inflate it and it looks sturdy.I wish I could give 4.5 stars as I only have a couple of suggestions.1. I really wish there was a way to override the automatic inflation function. Apparently, there is a smaller version available with this option, however, the item can't be returned and I honestly probably wouldn't any way for this. My use case would be walking through flood water which occurs far too often here. I'd like to switch it to manual operation only so I could inflate if I lost my footing or something.2. There is a handy spare CO2 pocket on the inside, however it is just an open sleeve. The cylinder falls out when you bend over. It would be really nice to have a velcro closure on this and maybe a waterproof case in it for a spare bobbin.3. I would feel much safer if this had reflective tape on the inflated portion for easy visibility at night. That would be awesome.I'm very pleased with this and don't regret buying it. I'm going to test it out in about a week and sacrifice a re-arm kit just so I feel confident about it.

The vest is easy to don and adjust and clear directions. Have not had the vest in water so actual functionality is unknown. Comfortable for the time I had it on boating in cool November day with no issues. Not sure how comfort will be in heat of summer but will eventually find out

This is my first vest of this style. The life vest fits fine. It is a little annoying around the neck but I expect this to go away after being worn a while. There are a three comments:First - I found no directions to initially arm the vest. A yellow notice comes inside the box that states the unit is not armed and to follow the owners manual. There is a statement on the inside of the booklet cover that tells you the location of the spare/ new cylinder. It is on the opposite side of the pull tab. I just followed the rearming instructions.Second - The d-ring is half way up vest. This places it on my chest. The kill switch lanyard now comes up the throttle handle when connected. Very annoying and possibly cause engine shut down since I just replaced the lanyard. There is a lot of tension on the lanyard. I will install a d-ring on the belt of applianceThird - The owners manual states to buy two rearming kits. One to test it in water and rearm. The other as a spare. Requires annual testing and inspection.

The vest rubs my neck and made my first trip with this vest a miserable one. I had a huge blister on both sides of my neck from the constant rubbing.

Little pricey and hard to find recharge kit but really happy with the purchase of theses life vest I got 3
