The Onyx Airspan Breeze is a foam life jacket made for paddlers, with low-profile front foam so the arms can move freely. Tightening the side straps lets the inner mesh panel expand and form an air gap for airflow, and there are six adjustment points for fit. It has two pockets with stretchable panels that hold gear and drain water, and reflective material on the front and back for visibility. The thin back foam is meant to sit comfortably against canoe and kayak seats.
Our take
The AirSpan back panel forms an air gap when you tighten the side straps, so the vest can breathe on warm paddling days, while the thin back foam is made to sit well against canoe and kayak seats.
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.
