I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

The Stohlquist Fit Adult PFD Life Vest is designed with high mobility and a non-restrictive cut, allowing you to move freely while wearing it. The upper buckle is placed higher to reduce ride up, and the back panel is thinner to avoid interference with your seat back.
One innovative feature of this life vest is that all foam corners are rounded and sculpted, which sets it apart from many 3-buckle PFDs. Additionally, the box-stitched webbing used in this vest is more durable than the bar-tac stitching found in other Economy PFDs.
When it comes to safety, the Stohlquist Fit PFD is Coast Guard approved for paddlers over 90 pounds. This means you can feel confident and secure while enjoying paddling, general boating, or using it on personal watercraft.
Unlike other bulky life vests, this product offers all the floatation you need without the extra bulk. It comes in a convenient zippered storage bag, and each order includes four Adult Universal PFD life vests. The vest itself weighs only 0.7 pounds and is easily adjustable to fit a universal unisex size.
The Stohlquist Fit PFD is the result of decades of paddling experience and the entrepreneurial spirit of founder Jim Stohlquist. Each model in their lineup reflects over 40 years of innovation and refinement, ensuring that you get the best WaterWare available today.
If you're wondering about the sizes, all the vests are sized "Adult Universal." The straps can be adjusted to fit the shape of the wearer. However, caution should be exercised if you fall outside the range of adult small to adult XL. Customers who wear XL fitted PFDs have found these vests to fit well with some room to spare.
For those carrying a few extra pounds, rest assured that these life vests can accommodate you comfortably.
While I can't confirm if this vest will fit a 3X shirt size, I do know that it fits a 2X. The sizing may be suitable for a 3X, but it's recommended to proceed with caution.
The Stohlquist Fit Adult PFD Life Vest does not have zippers, but this doesn't detract from its overall quality and functionality. Despite the lack of zippers, it still delivers a great performance.
