The Onyx AirSpan Angler is a foam life jacket in green, size M/L, with USCG and Transport Canada approval. Its back has a mesh panel that opens up as the side straps are snugged, leaving a gap of air behind your back to help with airflow. Storage includes two big zippered pockets, a speed pouch and a tool holder that closes with a buckle, and there is a rod holder. The thin back foam works with most canoe and kayak seats, and six adjustment points let you dial in the fit.
Our take
The AirSpan back panel expands when you tighten the body straps, which opens an air gap behind your back for airflow in warm weather. Thin back foam also works with most canoe and kayak seats, which makes it practical for paddling.
From our buying guide
US rules count Coast Guard-approved jackets. One approved only to European or ISO standards doesn't meet the US carriage rules, however good it is.
Check before you buy:
- The approval number is on the label, and the jacket fits you as that label marks.
- You're getting the US version, since some jackets are sold in two.
- If it's Level 50, it only counts toward what you must carry when it's worn.
