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.

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding the O'Neill Men's Superlite USCG Life Vest:

Q: Are these neoprene or canvas jackets you receive?

A: It shows a Neoprene jacket in images, but in the description, it is listed as Nylon PFD III, but the price is that of a Neoprene Jacket. I purchased what I thought was Neoprene, only to get Nylon PFD for $89.95. I also purchased two Nylon PFD for less than $40 each from the same manufacturer O'Neill. Looking at many vests this manufacturer offers on Amazon, some through Amazon itself, they show Neoprene Jackets in images, but describe Nylon PFD III life vests in the descriptions, even mentioning Neoprene as a material in the last comment in the description. DECEPTIVE MARKETING!!!

Q: How well does it hold you up in the water? I'm 6'2 and 290lbs, will it keep my head up and then some?

A: The lifting capacity of the vest is normally shown on the labels. The more lifting capacity, the higher you will be in the water.

Q: Size chart

A: I'm 6' 5" 250 lbs with a 54" chest - what size?

Q: Does this vest have a zipper?

A: No, it has adjustable buckles/straps.
