I've been looking at getting a jacket style PFD for a while now, but
haven't been able to find one that fits properly. Being on the XL side of the human genome (like 2XL size), I try to find safety gear that is practical and comfortable for me - which, I'm here to tell you is practically impossible. [1] I looked at the Mustang series jackets, but their idea of 2XL needs a little work - the 3XL isn't even available as far as I know. As it happens, my wife is more than aware of my constant quest for size comfort in clothes. She came across an article I missed concerning Orca Gear Float Tech jacket. She called the company and asked some questions. They in turn asked some questions and they came to a consideration that the 3XL is probably what I needed. She ordered it and I received it for Christmas. What a great surprise! It fit perfectly - it's long enough, full enough through the sleeves, shoulders, the internal PFD is very comfortable and the jacket is very good looking being a yellow/dark blue combination. Self or manual inflating which is a bonus. I'm very impressed. http://www.orcagear.com/ Later, Tom [1] I'm not THAT big, but I'm an odd size - I'm almost 6'4", weigh in at 240 at my heaviest (that varies by 30 pounds), but I have a 30' inseam, long torso and arms and rather broad shoulders. |
