BLUESTORM Gear Cirrus26 Life Jackets for Adults

We had a situation where our group was in absolute danger, the one non swimmer had no ptd and was tossed overboardI had the only pfd (this one) and since it was rapid water we were caught in, my emergency pfd launched its Co2 cartridge and kept my head above water noProblem. I was able to look at the situation briefly and could tell it was bad. I was able to roll into position to catch our non swimmer if needed. It was a terrifying 30 plus minutes experience in extremely cold water. The ordeal eventually lead to the cops coming; we had already been rescued by a strong kayaker that could power through the rapids and free us from a tree.There were at least 10 other people who could not make it through the rapids to save us. I knew I would survive because I had my life jacket and knew I could release from the situation an sacrifice my friends at any moment. Every decision was horrible and cold, THIS PFD saves lives. seriously a CO2 cartage saved mine and at least one friends life today.Never going on the water without it.We had literally half the group go overboard within hard rapids and snagged on trees.All group members are coming home safely traumatized.This was supposed to be the lazy River with wild horse views

I use to never wear a life vest due to the bulky size of contemporary life vest. Now I wear this vest all the time while in the boat. It is light weight and comfortable, I most of the time forget that I have it on. I wish they weren’t as expensive as they are

Really should have went this way years ago. I know they or more expensive but it does not get in the way of fishing or boat riding. Might entice boaters to wear them the whole time they’re in the boat. Could certainly increase your survival rate.

Rating based on service, visual inspection, and research only.Reasons:1. Bought as gift for Christmas.2. It's December, and in the PNW, it is very cold out, and the water isn't much warmer.GREAT service. I placed the order, and it was received earlier than expected. No damage to packaging. Visual inspection of product upon arrival shows no defects, stains, or any other type of damage from shipping, handling, or storage.Based on my research of the white sheets, and reviews from Manny resources, this product is the best for the money.Looking forward to seeing the recipient of this gifts reaction, and them using it.
