What is the weight rating on these jackets? One customer states they are only rated for 90lbs though they are described as adult sized.

they are probably both. we have ours in our raft just in case, i threw one in the water and pushed it underwater with my hands, so a very skinny adult could more than likely float in one of these...

I can answer your question. I have the three different sizes of these Kent life jackets. The youth size says that it is good for someone up to 90 pounds. The adult size (the one you are asking about here) says that it is good for anyone "over" 90 pounds, and does not give a weight limit. I also have the XL adult size for large passengers, and it also says that it is good for anyone "over" 90 pounds, and does not give a weight limit (but remember that it is for oversized adults, i.e. longer straps). I hope this helps you.

Read the U.S. Coast Guard description of life vest ratings to understand. A vest adds buoyancy to an already naturally buoyant human being. Thirteen pounds of buoyancy for example would be too much for a person under 90lbs. and adequate for anyone bigger than that. You can't float a 30 pound hunk of iron from on of these but you can float a 300 pound. man.

Hi Kimberly, I purchased these for my son in the spring, he was 12 and appx 110 lbs. I figured he'd keep growing. His friends had the "youth" size and he already was at the max. The springs work based on your weight. We decided to get the adult ones and we are happy with that decision. He can now use these for years to come and you don't have to worry about reaching the max weight and needing a bigger size. My son is at the low end of the weight scale for his and he will be able to use them for years. The adult ones are heavier duty then the kids size. I hope that helps. I understand it is an investment and you want to get the right size for now and in years to come.

these are made of stretch material. One size fits all, I would say.. for adults.

Couldn't find a weight rating. My boyfriend is 6'2", weighs around 225 and fits into these okay.

Be advised that these jackets are sized according to German Federal Army sizes. I would recommend going to a conversion chart and determining which German Federal Army size you require BEFORE these fools ship you whatever they want. I have found this outfit unresponsive, so BEWARE.

I don't think there was any age recommendations, just weight limits. I my self wouldn't buy them for anyone less than 14 or so because it takes a certain amount of weight and coordination to use them as well as good sense to be safe (relatively anyway). I think weight limit was 165 lbs. My 16 year old uses them and she is about 125lbs.

Not sure about the weight, I'm 180, but I'm 6'3" and have used them successfully with a 40lb pack without any trouble.

I don't know how much weight they are rated for, but I can tell you that my son is 6'6 and uses it just fine. So they are obviously made to handle sizeable folks.

90 lbs. warning to you, my kids loved but handle bar screws came loose very easily and my 9 yr old ended up breaking his arm

i cannot recommend a size, but can tell it does run "true to size" and is a beautiful jacket. Very well made. I ordered an extra small for grand daughter and there appears to be room for a sweater., etc., but she is 5'1" and about 80 lbs., so cannot help you with the correct size, sorry!

We are not big people but our X football player friend who is 300lbs had dinner on them no problem. And my friends husband who is 6'8 320lbs also had dinner on them. Sorry- best I can do.

not sure about the manufacturer wt limit...we've had 3 solid adults on it without any indication of stress/sagging (maybe 550 lbs)....they are quite solid. If you get it, use teak oil to condition them--they stay beautiful!

Good question, I bought these chairs for my retail boutique so I've had male and female customers that have sat in my chairs and they were over 150 lbs plus. The chairs are very sturdy and extremely comfortable. I also purchased tossed pillow for each chair to add some style and texture to them. I highly recommend these for a contemporary look.

I ordered a set for my 5 year old, who weighs 55lbs. They do fit, and I use the Velcro to adjust them to be as snug as possible, with room to grow. They also fit my 9 year old great.

I'm not sure on the exact weight limit but they are very sturdy. I think reg sized adult female and males would be good.
