Is this life jacket u.s. coats guard approved?

Yes! It sure is! Wouldn't have purchased it if it wasn't Coast Guard approved. In fact, if your life vests are not approved by the Coast Guard, they can ticket you! I'd rather be safe than sorry with a great life vest for an infant.

The case does not have to be by "LifeProof" as I have purchased the generic equivalent and it fits perfectly into this life jacket case. I am completely satisfied.

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

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.

Go to the Float Coat website. They have an easy to use sizing chart and it worked great fro me. Great vest

The vest has no ANSI label, so it probably has no rating. Also, the fabric is a very lightweight mesh which I would not recommend for extended use in a rough-service environment.

It is the type that you have to wear on board if it is to be recognized by the US Coastguard. I believe a 3?

I'm sorry, but I don't have the answer to your question as I purchased this life jacket as a gift for my son-in-law. I can tell you that he uses it for kayaking/canoeing and he loves it because it doesn't get in the way when he is paddling.

The jacket is highly adjustable. That said, it should adjust that much, I am 5'7" and weigh 210 Lb. I think that the adjustment is there. As for how the jacket reacts in the water I really can't say as I haven't been in the water with it on. I use it on my boat and thankfully haven't had to test that feature. I would think, for me, it would preform well as the fit is good. I can say that for a life vest it is fairly comfortable to wear.

Yes they are - we use them for our dragon boat race team and the association is very strict about what we wear. http://www.stearnsflotation.com/Comfort-Seriestrade-Life-Vest-P16.aspx

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.

HI--,, I am a Lieutenant Inspector for the state of New York. I have used it on my Jackets, Shoes, gloves and it worked fine. You have to put on the first coat,, let it dry for 8 hours and then apply a second coat.

I have it on my 16' ski/fish boat. On the side it has a pic of a car rv and a boat so hopefully its coast guard approved

It was too small for my dog so we did not use it. It was velvet so don't think it is water resistant. Best dog coats I have found are from Duluth Trading. I've purchased 2 from their site...very very pleased.

Hi Jessica, I really don't know the answer to that question. It is of good quality but as I mentioned in my review I wouldn't load with heavy coats. Sorry I couldn't help.

To be honest, I have'nt try it with a life jacket on, but I'm pretty sure it'd fit properly, it's very secure for the gopro camera and it's made of high quality materials. I like so far. Try it and have fun!

This jacket was used in conjunction with his swimming lesson. No as a life jacket. Thanks.
