A lot of the nylon vests "ride up" on you if you are driving the boat, so the shoulders are up by your ears. Anyone experience that with this vest?

This vest doesn't ride up on me at all. It's one of the best vests I've had.

It is very comfortable, but I find that as I push off the wall it can make the ear buds shift, so I use one strap from my goggles over the band of the MP3 and that keeps it in place during flip turns and push offs. And yes, you can adjust the volume. I do have a hard time wearing a swim cap with it. I haven't figured out exactly how to get them to work together. I have a lot of hair so the swim cap has to be pulled down over my ears in order to stay in place. But when I don't use a swim cap they're perfect.

I have only been on one flight where it didnt and it was due to some compartment holding a life vest or something. Just recently it did on an Alaska Airlines flight - smallest seats I've sat in.

I haven't ever tried to configure it for low ride but I do use this for idpa competition where I wear a vest. I find it easy to use with a vest and have no problems with obstruction.

Yes, a very good friend of mine is about that and very petite as well. It fits fine-normal adjustment belt for around the body.This is the most comfortable "vest" I have worn over the years. So light weight, I wear it all the time as I boat alone very often.

I really like the fit and feel of my Shock Doctor, however, I must agree with the other comments. It seems to me it would be pushed upward uncomfortably in your lower crouch by the bicycle seat.

I clicked yes thinking it was for, yes, I'll answer the question. My real answer if the shorts ride up is -No. I have two pairs and have had no issues. This is a comfortable short.

See the handle hanging (lowest item in the photo) that is attached by a line to a small cylinder of air. You have to pull that handle to set off the air that inflates the vest. It is category III lifevest:" Good for calm, inland waters, or where there is a good chance for fast rescue." I was a little disappointed that the makers of these vests are not required to state that in their advertisements. I bought mine for offshore kayaking, and I really should have purchased a more expensive model. If you are doing any river rafting I would recommend something that does not require manual inflation. If you accidentally bump your head, you may be incapable of igniting this device. Good luck. See the handle hanging (lowest item in the photo) that is attached by a line to a small cylinder of air.

You'd probably have a lot of wind noise for each other and have to likely speak very loudly. I've used them with a friend with both of us using 3/4 helmets, but we both had shields on them. There was a good bit of wind noise that way, so I'd imagine you'll just have it amped up. Engine noise isn't so much an issue as the wind blowing directly into and swirling around your face and the microphone.

I normally use the vest standing up fishing (OK) - if belts are loosened sitting down then ride some ride up is to be expected. I'm 5'10 205 lbs.

No. Mine was used on the shoulder and just barely worked for it. I would get the next size up.

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, my rider does not scoot up. There is a rubber kind of material on the bottom that keeps it from moving. She has never complained about this before. She is never really that far from me to scoot up. LOL!!!!!Norm

I wear a med. shirt & a guy that has this same vest is a 2 x. I have the straps at the top as little as they will go. It is a little bulky around the shoulders on me. I just got it this year so I just figured it will take a little getting used to. I thought about taking it to a seamstress to get the top a little less bulky. I hope this helps.

You will most likely have your shoulders and above out of the water and so will your husband. We both use the float and we love it. It is really comfortable but some of your body will be out of the water.

Hi James , I cant say 100% but my helmets face lifts up also . I did a slight mod so the mic boom tucked up on the side . Works really good . I didnt want to use the mic because of the wire . That wouldnt work to good when lifting the front of helment .

You might need someone else to help with this. While you have it on have someone push one of the shoulder straps in towards the front of the vest. Once it is at the desired height close the velcro on that strap. Repeat for the other strap. Make sure you have the Velcro on the shoulders open before you push the straps in.
