I've been using this Vaikobi V4 Ocean Racing vest for Parawing downwinders for almost a year now and can say this is a great flotation vest. The style is perfect for providing you some safety flotation but without being large and bulky and in the way. When I am on the water its never in my way where I am even reminded that I have it on. The pockets in the front are the perfect size where I can put my phone in one side in a waterproof case, then something else in the other side. Also having the spot for the Hydration Bladder on the back is really nice. I've used that a few times for longer runs, but have also used it to stuff a spare parawing in the back in case the wind changes. The high VIS colors are great. I am using the Green one and I've had multiple times where I get to the beach and someone said they could see just a green speck on the horizon. Great vest. 5 stars.
