Do you know if this vest is good for windsurfing? Meaning can you fit a harness with a hook below the vest?

Well, I am not sure this one is particularly design for wind surfing and it depends where the hook is located at. If it is in the middle or higher it won't work since the vest has a zipper, it it below, like a belt it will work, also, depends how big you are and the harness, you might have to order a size or two bigger since the fit is pretty tight being a neoprene vest.

The vest I have does not have a slit in the top. You may want to check with SafetyPup directly to see if they have one that can work with a harness.

I think I just answered my own question... in the technical details it says:"Used for multiple sports, such as cycling, cross- country skiing, and windsurfing"

I don't windsurf, but I see no reason why these boots would not work for that. They are like an aqua-sock with a rubber sole. I love mine and use them at the beach and on my boat.

I was happier with an XL size for just that reason. The caveat is that you may have to do what I did to keep the vest from riding up when inflated. I ran a small rope around the front flap of the vest like a belt to secure it around my middle. The secured the vest and made submergence much easier as I wasn't having to hold the vest down.

Yes. It is quite adjustable because of the Velcro straps. It should not be any problem at all. I recommend wearing it as snugly as possible, because the vest is comfortable but especially when its shifting around is minimized.

I would never use a weight training vest such as this one for swimming. For one it is dangerous to have any excess weight on yourself when in a pool of water even with proper supervision. If you want to get the maximum benefit from this product, stick to using it for walking, jogging, hiking and running though adjust the weight accordingly. You don't want to exceed 15-20 lbs for running/jogging but start out slow with the weight for walking/hiking as you'll feel it in your quads, traps and hamstrings.

It will definitely keep the person afloat but not sure about putting it around the waist. I'd ensure I had an approved life jacket for that.

It will keep you afloat if kept full. But its not as sturdy as a life vest. So if youre new to open water, a life jacket would be safer. Wouldnt recommend it for kayaking on rocky rivers. Sharp rocks could puncture the inflated vest. Great for snorkeling.

I would find a less bulky PFD. LIfe vests are vests for a reason. For one, when I've fallen out of a boat while rafting, I've been pulled back in by the in-boat person grabbing the shoulders of my vest, so they don't dislocate my shoulders. This would not do that. Also, if you go face first into the water, my guess is, this would hold your bottom up just as well as it would hold the top of your body up. You need something constructed to keep your head above water in turbulence and unpredictable environments. This is made for aerobics in a pool - a much different environment.

Yes. It's awesome. I'm glad I bought it as my first weight vest. The next one I'm probably going to invest in is the one that's half sized

It might with floatation a little. I have used it in Hawaii in Salt Water. Salt water help with floatation too so I'm not sure how much the vest helps that way. It sure helps keep me warmer so I can snorkel longer though.

You will get wet. The vest is a good option for warmer water. A jacket is good for cooler water. I recommend not buying any item from wetsuit wear house unless you like sewing it yourself.

AR_Kayaker, Not anymore. I called Polar and they no longer make the SmartFabric straps. This is the "new" softstrap, and the contacts are now a rubbery deal. Less static buildup, but the chest strap is a much cheaper, more slippery material. That, and the hook cover is pretty minimal; been rowing on a Concept2 daily since November 24, and I've worn a hole on either side of my ribcage from the tag that supposed to protect you from the metal hook end. It's nowhere near the quality of the Wearlink that was pictured here, but this is what they're making now. I'm adding some First Aid tape, and rowing on. AR_Kayaker, Not anymore.

Yes it should fit you but if you are in an area where it is cool and want to wear a sweatshirt or a jacket you may want to get the medium size vest so you have room to move in it. I hope this helps you and have fun fishing.

The jacket is highly adjustable. That said, it should adjust that much, I am 5'7" and weigh 210 Lb. I think that the adjustment is there. As for how the jacket reacts in the water I really can't say as I haven't been in the water with it on. I use it on my boat and thankfully haven't had to test that feature. I would think, for me, it would preform well as the fit is good. I can say that for a life vest it is fairly comfortable to wear.
