Onyx Youth Universal Aqua Paddle Life Vest

The Onyx Youth Universal Paddle Vest gives kids a life jacket shaped for paddling. This aqua vest fits youth from 55 to 88 lb and is U.S. Coast Guard and Transport Canada approved. Compact, lightweight foam keeps bulk down. Larger armholes and elastic shoulders let young paddlers reach and rotate freely.

It isn't limited to the kayak, since it's also rated for tubing, waterskiing and riding a PWC. That lets it stay on all day as plans change. A front zipper and two encircling body belts keep it snug. A snug vest is a safe vest, especially for kids.

Mesh side panels let air move through on hot afternoons. The light foam helps with kids who resist wearing a vest at all. It gives young paddlers a better option than a bulky boating vest. Browse more life jackets and PFDs.
