Not CG approved for motorized or towing uses. It is approved for paddle boards, kayaks etc. Seems kind of cool for just drifting in the lake. Anybody tried them?

Never seen or tried, but the design looks like it is intended to drp the head into the water vs hold head up.

I could be wrong, however. All I saw were the posted oics.
 
That is nothing new. We have been doing that for years with a standard life vest. Put your legs through the arm openings and buckle in in the front.Not worth the price that they want when you can do it with any vest out there.
 
For a few bucks you can simply straddle a swim noodle.
 
There are a number of other products, "Lazy Bunz" (which is what we use). I just like the idea of having your arms free for holding a beer ;)
 
It is only a diaper if you...... uh, in it.
 
I just bought something similar but no straps...works fine for what I need.
 
Totally impractical for a paddler. I'd say it's only practical use is a float toy for a non-swimmer.
 
At least people will know when a floater is toast. Hopefully before the bubbles stop.
