True Fit and nice featuresThis jacket runs true to size unlike a lot of jackets I have purchased recently. A Large is a Large and an XL is an XL. Other jackets often run small and you have to buy a size larger to get the right fit.
The two big zippered pockets are nice and the two front D-rings are handy. One D-ring detaches by way of a quick release clip. You can attach a tool to it that you use regularly while fishing so you always have it handy. Just unclip it. I use the quick release clip for my outboard motor kill switch lanyard. That makes it fast and easy to detach and re-attach.

Great Product!I recently purchased 3 Bass Pro XPS PFD's about a month ago. Without luck, I'd searched various sites and stores before Bass Pro released the XPS PFD. It had everything I'd been looking for. Fleeced lined, zipper storage pockets. Zip up style, with 3 straps, and very comfortable. I fish year around, compete in tournaments at various levels, coach a high school fishing team, and boat captain during high school tournaments. If your in the market for a non inflatable PFD, I highly recommend the Bass Pro XPS extreme PFD product!

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!
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
