“One of my concerns about gearing up to paddle was the need for a PFD. Those puffy life jackets are absolutely unsuitable and impossible to make paddling anything but arduous. I've put up with them in commercial ventures but for my own, if you're a woman who has any semblance of a bust and wears a bra, stay clear of the puffy vest PFDs and DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR and get the Crewfit. It's not in the way when I'm using the paddle and out on the water. You want to be able to move your arms very freely. The Crewfit gives you that freedom plus the peace of mind should you ever find yourself in the water inadvertently. it's well priced and a quality product. it is light and easy to paddle with.. Thoroughly recommended for women and the other advantage is that in warmer climates and weather your clothes can breathe and you're not sweating unnecessarily.”
“Been used to the "old fashioned" type of life jacket, which I had paddled in for many years. This new style inflatable is so low profile and easy to paddle in. Fortunately, I haven't used it inflated yet so I can't vouch for that component.”
“Excellent jacket & absolutely no bulk at all. I am quite impressed with it & once you have it on you forget that you actually do have it on because it is so comfortable !!”
