Paddler's Pick awarded by Paddler Magazine.
Type III: In the Groove, you're so comfortable you won't want to take it off. It's the first completely four-way stretch PFD. NRS Mystery material over the front and back flotation panels allows the whole unit to stretch and follow your body's motions. Four-way stretch nylon lining and stretch-mesh sides offer increased comfort and mobility. Eight adjustment points hold the jacket snug against your body for a secure, but unrestricted, fit. Front zipper for easy access and a full 16.5 pounds of flotation. The Groove touring vest features reflective tape at the shoulders, lash tabs on front and back for accessories and two zippered stretch-mesh pockets.
Design Flotation: 16.5 lbs.
One of the best PDF'S
I have used several PDF'S and the fit is great on this one. It is very light and the mesh pockets are a plus. Very good for Kayaking. 5 stars *****
super pleased
I didn't know a PFD could be quite this comfortable, I am very pleased with this product
Awesome Vest!
I tried it on after recieving it in the mail and was completely impressed with the product. Its soft, comfortable and does not feel bulky like some vests do. I also like the freedom of arm movement it provides and can't wait to use it out on the water this summer. Oh! and what a great deal it was!

Might Be the Best
I use it in creeks, rivers & lakes. Top notch all the way around. You get what you pay for; this is worth it.
Extremely comfortable and cushy
Like no other PFD out there in terms of materials, feel, and the comfort of the Mystery material is just above and beyond anything else. It feels like wearing a glove, not at all like strapping on a few pieces of foam like how other PFDs feel. The color is even more striking and shiny metallic than in the pictures. This is a beautifully made PFD and very comfy to wear. Time will tell how well the color holds up to time but so far everything else is 5 stars. Could use a few more pockets, but this isn't a fisherman's PFD anyway.
pleased but not thrilled
I am a fairly small person. The vest does feel comfortable but is a little longer in the torso than I would like it to be.
