Is there a weight limit guide as well as the measurement guide? Would a small be enough flotation for a 50lb Lab?

It might be. My 65lb. German Shorthaired Pointer has a medium and it fits her perfectly. Does your lab have a heavy coat? This may be the difference between a small and medium for you.

Look at ruffwear site or call them. But my dog is 47 pounds and wears a small so 50 prob wouldn't make a difference. You just need to measure for the fit. Ruffwear has measuring info on their site. I've found my dog to be a small across many of their coat types. But she's a border collie lab mix so her torso is a lot thinner than a pure lab. Just measure to be safe.

Not sure... my dog is a 80lb golden. His chest measurement was right at the transition between Med and Large. So I used a Large and it's been great.

Yeah, there are weight guidelines you can look at. I used it on my 65 lb shepherd puppy just fine.

I bought a small K9 Float Coat for my 2 Jack Russells, both around 6kg, and it works perfectly. Wonderful and very useful product. But, for a more accurate answer, you should contact Ruffwear. http://www.ruffwear.com/-9-float-coat

No-- I just made sure it was under 50 lbs or whatever the weight limit was...

Sorry "S", though I'd planned to use that expandable foam last fall I didn't. I'll be using it in a month or so too replace flotation in a little run-about. I did see a few people use it successfully on "You Tube." You may want to explore. that.option.

Don't know what's recommended, but I use mine for fishing in some really dicey circumstances. So I use the 33 gram. Personally, I want all the flotation I can get. I'm a 6' adult male. I'd save the 24 gram for kids.

I don't know what the manufacture's recommended limit is but my son is 5 and he weighs 52 pounds and is 48" tall (yes he's a very big boy!) and it keeps him afloat without a problem. This is with all 4 blocks on, so as he learns to swim we'll remove a block at a time. Hope this helps!!

I have not tested the metrics of how much weight the float will hold up, however depending on the density of your PVC pole it may float itself. I'd test it in a controlled environment before trusting any water rig, but you could cap the ends of the pole trapping air in the pole causing it to be more buoyant.

When you are using all 4 pieces it's up to 50 lbs I would say. My 40 lbs is going under the water when 3 pieces are used. The idea of this floats is to teach kid to swim, not to keep them in the water.

Recommended was 150 lbs. So three 50lb bags. That's what we used and it works out great.

I would say get 100 pounds and add as needed ( add 30 lbs and water it down then top it off ). The flow tube in the middle will have a scale to show where the sand needs to be.

No, it's not big or sturdy enough for that. Possibly it would hold one 50lbs bag of salt.

The swim floatie I received held my 42lb 4 year old daughter without a problem. My other daughter who is 2 and is around 30lbs also has used it. The ring size for the 2 year old was a little large.

For Zeosand you are suppose to use half as much pounds as you would for regular sand. So for 50lb sand replacement you need a 25lb bag of Zeosand.

I'm 210 and have another 50+ lbs of gear and it floats no problem. Tower rates it up to 800lbs for the 14' Explorer. That's a big advantage of the inflatable.

I am not sure about the weight limit. I have used these on my 2 kids when they were at around 30 pounds. Initially, my kids were using the hand floats (air bags) and I was told at a public pool that air-filled floats were not allowed. That is when I got these, and they worked better than the hand floats.

The Classic Cuffs have foam inside for flotation and resistance. These are not a "weighted" item. The actual weight of the product is 1.2lbs.

No, it would drag way too much. It is not a tubing material. Heavy flotation type with an open mesh bottom.

No it is too big. It needs about 30" width for the float to work. You need a tape type gauge.
