The generous waist strap adjusts to accommodates a wide range of waist sizes. Choose your size in relationship to your weight which assures the proper lift capacity to help offset negative buoyancy.

The The back of the jacket features stretch panels for comfort. Included is a removable back pocket which is removable and can be placed on the waist strap to carry things like fish id cards and incidentals that you would like to bring with you while snorkeling. (Please note that the pocket is not waterproof.)

The oral inflator tube (with whistle) is easy to use and has a locking ring on it as well. Another feature on the jacket snorkeling vest is a rolled padded collar which helps to avoid chaffing which can occur when using conventional horse collar style snorkeling vests. The jacket snorkeling vest also does not use a crotch strap which is a plus for many people. Who says snorkeling has to be uncomfortable?
