Parts Desk Insight
A life vest only performs as intended when it fits correctly. The 85383 is the S/M size in red — fits chest 32–40 inches. If the chest measurement is larger, see the 85393 L/XL or the XXL/XXXL red variant. For the same S/M size in blue, see the 85343. Taking a few moments to tighten each belt individually helps keep the vest secure during sudden movement, making it more comfortable and more effective throughout a full day on the water.
