Is this vest coast guard approved?

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.

Ditto to the other answers. The Coast Guard info is silk screened on the inside of the back panel.

I do not use this vest. I bought it for my 11 year old nephew to use when playing Airsoft and/or paintball. He is, however, obsessed with all things military and knows a lot about various weapons, ammunition, etc. I asked him if he thought it would hold AK47 magazines. (He was wearing it earlier this evening). He checked a few of the pockets and estimated that one or two of the pockets might hold a 30 round magazine. He has not used it for this though so I cannot be 100% certain.

No this is a standard type of load bearing vest that is some what generic in nature. If you buy you will need to tweak the vest to make it fit. Still a good deal though. But in stalling plates is not an option.

I can't answer this question because I can Not recommend this vest. I loved how it fit snug to your body, but after using it only 10 times it was already ripping at the corner of the weight. To the point I almost lost one weight. They needed to round their edges and coat the weights. That's a lot of money for 10 days of wear.

It uses pressure straps to attach to MOLLE. It should fit without issue as this vest has plenty of back MOLLE.

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.

I specifically looked to see if the one I purchased was CGuard approved and it was. Most of the ones I checked out told you right upfront if they had this approval.

Yes this is a personal floatation device / vest. It is really well made, I love mine.

My husband set the straps setting for me, I feel very secure using it. A friend recommended it to us. When we are in the Bahamas==it is in constant use. Great vest!!!!!

You should be ok, these vests have a pretty wide size range. Although keep in mind the waist adjustment is only at the back. The buckles at the front are fixed.

These vests are Lined with Kevlar, not the ceramic plate inserts, and are IIA rated. Hope this helps!

The vest is adjustable at the shoulders and waist. It fits almost any build.

My boys wore this vest with and also without a swimshirt with no problem. The vest has a "tail" that goes between the legs which keeps it in place.

Was a gift for my son to wear while he jogs. He lives in another state, so I have never actually seen the vest. Sorry

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.

No, this is only approved for cars. There is another product called flight vest (we don't have) that is designed for airplane travel. Our 2 yr old did fine in regular airplane buckle.

I do not know if it is OSHA approved but it is well built and very sturdy. I feel very secure using it.
