The Onyx Universal Paddle Life Jacket is a red foam vest with a paddle-specific flex-cut design. Perforated foam is tapered toward the front to thin it out, which eases arm movement and gives a contoured fit. Six adjustment straps cinch it snug. The back foam sits high for high-back seats, with a breathable mesh lower back, neoprene shoulder pads and a large front pocket. It is listed as USCG approved.
Our take
Six adjustment straps let this paddle vest be cinched snug, and the tapered front foam keeps the chest thin for arm movement. The tall foam back paired with a mesh lower back is built to sit clear of a high-back seat.
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.
