Poor qualityI bought this to replace my older one and the new one is so cheap . The quality is awful it comfort sucks with the big collar. The leg straps are so thin that they just rub and irritate u when the jacket rides up . They brake if the jacket get pulled up in the river to high.

XPS Platinum Series Fishing Life VestI recently (Spring 2017) purchased this vest to match with one bought approximately 3 years ago. The new vest is a much cheaper and lower quality item than its predecessor. It is a serviceable vest, just not as good as it once was..

XPS Platinum Fishing VestFits comfortably, nice pockets for hands and hand warmers. Not a lot of other pockets but has the features I was looking for. Looking forward to using it more this summer

excellent life vestsI really don't like buying things when I can't see and touch however after reading the reviews and figuring I could send them back if I didn't like them I ordered them. The vests are Great! Much better than I expected them to be and I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good fitting life vest that you can fish in!

Use not listedI was very excited about this pfd. I liked the look, the feel, the hip straps. Then I got it home, opened it and read the manufacturers label on the inside, it says it is not for use with personal watercraft, or towing such as water skiing (or tubing I assume) Yet it is rated for 100mph wind test. Nothing in Bass Pro's description listed this warning. I have a pontoon boat and use a pfd for tubing, fishing and deep water swimming. I had to return it.

Very pleased with this purchase!I looked for a good quality life jacket that I could use not only for fishing but for recreational boosting also when I found this one at Bass Pro. It's made of quality materials, several pockets for those extra items you need access to when fishing, and very very comfortable. Very happy with this purchase.

great life jacketThe most comfortable life jacket I have ever used. So comfortable that I catch myself wearing it even after the boat docked. Just keep it away from the exhaust of the generator. Nylon and heat are a poor match.
Type III
Buoyancy: At least 15.5 lbs
Type III PFDs – or flotation aids – are for calm and inland water where a rescue will most likely occur quickly. These PFDs are designed to keep the wearer in a vertical position, but it is the wearers’ responsibility to maneuver themselves into a face-up position. These types of PFDs are the most comfortable to wear, and popular for recreational boating and fishing. Type III PFD's can be coats, jackets and vests. Depending on the product, the wearer may have to tilt their head back to avoid being face down in the water. Type III PFDs are not meant for extended survival in rough water, as high waves may cover the wearer's face.
Most require only about 11 pounds of extra buoyancy to keep their heads out of water. That is why a PFD with just 15-1/2 pounds of buoyancy can provide flotation for an adult— even a large person. PFDs with 22 – 34 pounds of buoyancy can provide superior performance in rough, off shore type of conditions.
If it fits your size chest then it should keep you afloat.
Thank you
