Questions & Answers

Mike N : What is largest size? I weigh 300lb.RICHARD G : I bought large and am satisfied 230#KEN Z : I weigh 200lb,6 ft. and it works well.I believe it will be enough for you.Worth a try. Good luck.YAN G : Adult is the largest size. Check the Blue Reef vest out, it has an XL size which might work better: <a href="http://www.leisurepro.com/p-blrsv/blue-reef-snorkeling-vest" target="_blank">http://www.leisurepro.com/p-blrsv/blue-reef-snorkeling-vest</a>MIKE S : When I bought mine I weighed about 285. There is room for bigger than me to fit in mine. I don't remember what size I bought, but I imagine it was the largest available. The vest works very well and I have used it a number of times.
wayne s : Is this a US Coast Guard approved flotation device?PAUL S : No, it's only a snorkel assist device. Most places where you snorkel require or highly recommend them while snorkeling.JERRY J : unknownYAN G : No, it is not. Only a snorkeling vest.DALE P : I don't believe it is.
Shopper : what is the actual size for adult and child?CUONG D : Get adult size , you can wear for the child with adult size . So you can use it after many years , you can adjust to fix any size with adult size .CUONG D : One size fix all , you can adjust to any size .BRUCE M : I can only say the adult fits a normal size adult although the straps are long enough that it could accommodate and adult that was leaning towards super sizing.
Rhonda G : How easy or difficult is it to blow the vest up?Steve S : This is very simple to blow up and deflate. You will just push down the top of the tube and blow into or let the air out.BOB P : very easy bought this for my wife she had no problems by the way she is not a diver or snorklerTIMOTHY M : Very easy. I don't know if my five year old (who wears the vest) could do it, but I would expect a teenager to do it no problem, and quite possibly younger than that. Any adult healthy enough to use a snorkeling vest should be able to inflate this no problem.JACKIE M : hey, Rhonda - I only have one lung due to cancer, but found the Reef Tourer EXTREMELY easy to inflate - it gave me a great sense of relief. you go, girl!SHAUN N : Quite easy. It is not like a balloon, when you must fight elastic resistance the whole time. There is no resistance until you are done inflating it.PAUL S : Very little resistance....like a plastic bag.....you don't completely inflate it just enough to keep it buoyant. I use it to slow me to float face down....I don't inflate it like a life jacket.BRUCE M : Very Easy, just a couple seconds to doSTUART S : I didn't use this myself, but was helping my 7-year-old snorkel for the first time. You can inflate it while swimming pretty easily. When you think about snorkeling, just breathing in (one breath of air) changes your buoyancy significantly. So, you only need a couple of breaths in the bag to make a big change in your buoyancy. The valve is well designed and so it's not like some inflatable rafts where half the work is blowing hard enough to get the valve open. The valve doesn't seem to add any work at all. It's also not like a balloon where lots of pressure builds up and you have to blow hard, because you're not trying to add lots of pressure. You're just trying to get some air inside a loose bag. Oh--and the question you'll want to answer when you want to free dive is how easy is it to deflate while swimming. If you turn the valve cap upside down and press it against the valve, it opens up the valve. Dip your body underwater and the water pressure will push all the air out of the vest.CUONG D : It's very easy to blow it , it takes about 15 seconds .
Scooter R : 270 pound adult. What make/model snorkel vest will fit? Trip planned 4 Sept.CUONG D : Yes, you will be lighter when you are in water . Have a good time .SHAUN N : I cannot speak for any other models but I would not suggest this vest as my wife uses it and I couldn't if i wanted to. I am 6 foot 240PAUL S : The purpose of these is to give you a slight positive buoyancy. So the issue would be girth vs. length. The straps go around the middle and through the crotch. Your only choice is the adult. You slightly inflate it so you float and don't have to tread water all the time. In reality if you 270 and pure muscle you'll have to inflate it more. If your not pure muscle inflate it less. The less muscle the more buoyant you are naturally. You'll be even more buoyant in salt water.

Quality vest = quality time in the water

My husband purchased this for me prior to a snorkel trip to Cozumel. I was not thrilled, as I consider myself a good swimmer. As it turns out, I was extremely thankful for this vest. After several adjustments, the vest was fairly comfortable. Quality is very good. The vest enabled me to stay in the water longer. Additionally, one day the current was very strong, and having the vest made a huge difference to my comfort and safety.

Poor design and construction of inflation valve

The neck opening was too large for me and the inflation valve was poorly designed. I prefer the valves that twist to open and shut and are metal. This valve's closing was a plastic flip cap tethered by a small strand of plastic which would be susceptible to breakage and loss of cap. Also not as effective for keeping out sand and debris out. The valve was more difficult to open to blow air in. The fabric construction seemed durable, but because of the poor, cheap design of the air valve, I would not recommend the vest. The vest was returned.

Caribbean Dream

I am very pleased with my Reef Tourer vests. I purchased them for a snorkeling trip to the Caribbean and they arrived just two days after I placed my order. They a comfortable, provide the support I wanted and pack and fold up easily. My kids and I both used them and felt comfortable without feeling like we were wearing something too bulky. Very nice product and fabulous service from Leisure Pro.

Great quality.

My vest has not been in the water yet, however it looks and feels like it will do very well. It feels like a strong and durable material and should last a long time. Can't wait to test it out in the water.

I like this product

I snorkle a great deal in the carribean, and as I am in the water for 5 to 6 hours at a time, the vest comes in handy for float breaks.

Not to bad..could use changes

Bought these vests for a group, and while they worked well, the biggest problem was trying to get all the water out of them, as water managed to get into the air bladders. A purge valve of some type would be good.
