Finding the Perfect Fit: Vaikobi Life Jacket Size Guide

When you're out on the water, comfort, safety, and performance go hand in hand. Whether you're paddling, sailing, or racing, a well-fitting life jacket is essential for maximum mobility and protection. Vaikobi design their PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices) with performance in mind—lightweight, breathable, and tailored for active water sports. But how do you find the perfect fit?

Why Proper Fit Matters

A life jacket that’s too loose can ride up and restrict movement, while one that’s too tight can feel uncomfortable and limit your performance. Choosing the right size ensures:
✅ Safety – A secure fit keeps the PFD in place during intense activities.
✅ Comfort – A well-fitted life jacket allows for a full range of motion.
✅ Performance – The right size enhances breathability and reduces bulk.

How to Choose the Right Size

Follow these simple steps to find your ideal life jacket size:

1️⃣ Measure Your Chest – Use a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of your chest, just under your arms. Compare this measurement to the size chart on our Life Jacket Size Guide.

2️⃣ Consider Your Fit Preference – If you prefer a snug fit for high-performance paddling or sailing, choose the size closest to your chest measurement. If you want extra room for layering, size up slightly.

3️⃣ Adjust for a Secure Fit – Once you receive your life jacket, adjust the side straps to ensure a secure yet comfortable fit. The jacket should not lift above your shoulders when pulled up.
