Collection: Life Vests

Choosing the right life vest comes down to how and where you use it. Onyx inflatable PFDs like the A/M-24 offer a low-profile fit for boaters who want comfort and freedom of movement, with the choice between automatic inflation when you hit the water and manual inflation when you want full control. Paddle sport designs like the Onyx MoveVent Dynamic and MoveVent Curve are foam-based vests cut for kayaking and canoeing, with armhole shaping that lets you paddle without restriction. For the youngest passengers, the Stearns Heads-Up Nylon Vest is built for infants up to 30 pounds, with a collar that helps keep a child's head above water.

Before ordering, check that the size range matches the wearer. Adult foam vests here come in XS/SM, M/L, and XL/2XL, so compare the maker's weight and chest guidelines before you buy. If you own an Onyx inflatable, re-arm kits are sold separately and are not interchangeable between models. The M-24 and A/M-24 each require their own kit, so confirm which inflatable you have before adding one to your cart.
