Youth and Child Life Jackets?

[DKMQ]

Looking into purchasing new life jackets for my 6 and 9 year old daughters for this season. They are both very active in the swimming part of the boating experience. Constantly jumping from the stearn and bow of the boat especialy. The 9 year old loves the kneeboard and tubes.

The advice I'm looking for is....

What have you guys found to be the most comfortable, but safe of course, life jackets for your children. My girls complain of the chaffing and riding up in the arm pit area.

Thanks for any input.

I think the neoprene are the least bulky, lightest, most flexible, and comfortable. For very small children I like those body suits that have flotation built in.

A vest with one of these will keep it from riding up.

Some of the nicer ones have a microfiber lining now.
