Is this vest coast guard approved?

It does NOT keep the child afloat. It is specifically designed to help the child be more buoyant and develop comfort with the water.

I believe life vests are universal. I know there are some vests that are made for specific genders and they are usually labeled so.

I live in North Carolina and I have found it to be pretty cool for a life vest. The top is mesh so it definitely lets you breath.

My answer would be yes. It is VERY CHEAP. You can literally make a cardboard chestplate and it'll be stronger than the vest.it's flimsy.

I am no expert, I sail and have been caught in some pretty bad weather and my vest never became activated. I hope this was helpful.

No, Tara I don't believe it is. I know that my grandson who is 6 wears this and did very well with it as it is not tight around the armpits and doesn't rub him either. He would wear it with no arguing at all. I had looked at some that were coast guard approved, but when I looked at them I knew he wouldn't wear it because he did have one similar and it rubbed him under his armpits and had a rash from it. So I did go with this one and it worked fine. However, we never went out boating , only used it in an underground pool at home and at swim lessons. Jumped off the diving board etc with it and was fine. I jope this helps. No, Tara I don't believe it is.

There is another one by Onyx that just goes around the waist and it DOES say it's USCG approved.....

This vest is USCG Approved Type V, with Type III Performance. It is made by AbsoluteOutdoor.com Cust Service 320-252-2056. It is a great vest with a mesh storage case. is has auto inflate with contact with water which can be disengaged, and auto inflate with a cord, or by mouth. It is light weight and does not interfere with any movements. I use it for fishing and it doesn't interfere in any way. The storage bag is heavy mesh I attached it to my fish finder case so it is always available when I go to the boat. Hope this helps.

Kristina, Not certain of approved or not but it is an excellent blood pressure monitor. So far it matches with my doctors results exactly. Hope this helps you.

It's a great vest for the money! No, you won't have a problem with it being too big. They run very small.

Agreed. The holster is molle and can be replaced with any molle accessory. It's a great vest.

It was when I bought it. I am over 200 lbs and it keeps me afloat. I use it kayaking as it has so many pockets. I can keep my phone and keys on me in water proof bags and easy to get to in the vest.

Yes! SOLAS compliant product. Also USCG (Coast Guard) approved, and 3M Scotchlite reflective material. This is heavy-duty material...you'll need something sharp to cut this stuff...I use a heavy Stanley utility knife. I applied this to two daypacks that get tossed around quite a bit, and it won't let go. I also wrapped a couple of bands around my trekking poles. I would highly recommend this product. No complaints whatsoever.

My original review was for a Moby wrap. It looks like my review has been applied to a product I did not buy! This looks to be a vest, not a wrap.

This is a U. S. Coast Guard approved Type V with Type lll performance, for Adults over 16 years of age and over 80 lb's. I do not know what USGS category it is. It has a minimum buoyancy of 22.5 lbs. when inflated. I would guess the weight to be about 1 pound. It is so comfortable and lightweight I don't even know it is on. I use it for kayaking and fishing, I am 5'-6" and go 240lbs, so I am no lightweight, best vest I ever bought.

No its not a real bullet proof vest its a bullet proof style vest. I bought it and realized it wasn't the right style I needed. but it does look nice and have many storage pockets. I'd honestly say it is good for typical wear.
