Let me tell you about a friend of mine—an avid wave runner, who thought he had everything sorted out. He had the fastest jet ski and the coolest gear, but when it came to safety, he was a bit lax. One sun-soaked afternoon, while racing against the wind, he hit a rough patch and was thrown overboard. He flailed, struggling to keep his head above water. Thankfully, his friends quickly tossed him a life jacket, a good one at that. But had it not been for the timely response—and a quality life jacket—what could have been a story of laughter and adventure could have turned tragic. The image of that terrifying moment remains embedded in my mind; I realized then how critical it is to choose the right gear when exploring the water.

Title: Even Marines use PFDâs
Review: Iâm a Marine, aquatic by nature, if you will. I would never be on the water without a PFD!I bought this PFD for fishing on my kayak and John boat. I like how itâs low profile, makes for easy casting.Recharges are relatively cheap and it would be a good idea to pick 3-4 to have around. Which reminds me that I need to pick some up!!The Velcro securing the inflatable membrane has the potential to rub on your neck (mine does).Overall this is a great PFD and itâs USCG approved.I would recommend it to one of my friends if they where looking for one.

Title: Wear your life vest!
Review: So I while hate wearing a traditional life vest, this little guy isn’t bad at all. Don’t wear a big orange vest, you look like a dork – wear this instead and be a little less dorky but a lot more safe.
Reviewer: I wasnât sure how this to robo vacuum was going to work this is my first one. This thing is amazing, I have a chihuahua and she sheds Inhate the hair, this cleaned it up, adapted to the carpet well. The vacuum came in a simple box once opened there was not much I had to do. You can program this thing too. Itâs light and since itâs my first the sound was fine for me. For the price this is right definitely worth it!!

Title: For a pilot, these are great
Review: If you are a GA pilot looking for a comfortable PFD for your over-water flights, you can’t beat the ONYX A/M-24. I bought one a couple years ago for crossing Lake Michigan, but needed another one for our trip to the Bahamas earlier this year. My wife and I concur that they are comfortable and lightweight. They aren’t as cheap as some other models, but I think you’ll be happy with the purchase.As a note, don’t forget to arm your life vest. If you don’t arm it, you’ll pull on that cord when you need it and nothing will happen.

Title: Light weight
Review: Very light weight and is not too hot when in use. Just be careful with accidental water contact……I will just say the product works….. and ensure when recharging, you replace the yellow cylinder as well as the gas cartridge.
