A lot of the nylon vests "ride up" on you if you are driving the boat, so the shoulders are up by your ears. Anyone experience that with this vest?

This vest doesn't ride up on me at all. It's one of the best vests I've had.

You'd probably have a lot of wind noise for each other and have to likely speak very loudly. I've used them with a friend with both of us using 3/4 helmets, but we both had shields on them. There was a good bit of wind noise that way, so I'd imagine you'll just have it amped up. Engine noise isn't so much an issue as the wind blowing directly into and swirling around your face and the microphone.

Absolutely! This is one of the few vests that has flotation material under the dogs chest which helps keep their head above water. Just make sure you get the appropriate size for your dog.

It's pretty big to just strap on your shoulder. It would probably be uncomfortable to ride with that way.

I have not had that problem, nor has the guy who recommended it to me. I don't put it to aggressive use though. I love it, and its very comfortable to carry on your back while carrying other gear. Highly recommended for cost.

I have only been on one flight where it didnt and it was due to some compartment holding a life vest or something. Just recently it did on an Alaska Airlines flight - smallest seats I've sat in.

I am in the great camp. I really like mine and have had no problems with workmanship. I like the layout, but it would be better if the pouches were movable so that you could change the layout to suit different scenarios or use double rifle mag pouches instead of the single ones provided. In a tactical situation I would rather have an excess of rifle mags and less pistol mags. I like the pistol position okay, but here again I would like to be able to relocate it if need be. All in all, however, I like this vest and it is comfortable and adjustable, size wise.

I clicked yes thinking it was for, yes, I'll answer the question. My real answer if the shorts ride up is -No. I have two pairs and have had no issues. This is a comfortable short.

The bottom strap is adjustable to suit your child's comfort. My 2 children (a boy and a girl) never complained about it. I loosened it as they became larger & stronger swimmers and the vest was tighter & didn't naturally float up around their neck/ears.If the vest itself is snug around the body, the bottom strap is less important, but still needed.Non-swimmers who don't necessarily use their arms and legs to assist in staying afloat might find a vest floats up/off them. The concept of the strap is to have security in case a non-swimming child could possibly slip out of the vest through its underside. (Small children's PFDs for boating have strap as requirement.)

My daughter used it with her son and she said it was the best life jacket she has ever used. The other he kept slipping out of. As for floating on the back I don't know. It defiantly kept his face out of the water.

OMG I have this exact same problem. I thought it was something I did "wrong".Yes I keep tripping over it and it has become a hazard, such as when carrying hot liquids for example.And annoying to boot.

I normally use the vest standing up fishing (OK) - if belts are loosened sitting down then ride some ride up is to be expected. I'm 5'10 205 lbs.

No, it does not ride up over the chin and mouth, but it is a vest designed to keep her face above water, if falling in, and, as such, comes almost up to the chin. I would say, at her size, this vest will be uncomfortable for her.

I put it facing me in mesh console pocket ( Harmony console ) and it is around level of the cockpit, so sound doesn't really travel to my fellow kayakers to annoy them but I can hear it well enough. Have 3 of these as the kids don't seem to appreciate my music playlist so have their own. I use my Zen, they use their Android phones as music sources.

I ride with mine and it is very comfortable. I do sometimes not fasten the chest strap because it can "ride" up and get a little irritating. Hope this helps.

I really like the fit and feel of my Shock Doctor, however, I must agree with the other comments. It seems to me it would be pushed upward uncomfortably in your lower crouch by the bicycle seat.
