Has anyone here had or has any experience with Striker’s Float Vest?  My other half is rightfully insisting I wear a PFD when fishing solo.  This looks like a reasonable option. 

Sorry, no experience with the vest, but I have their Trekker coat and bibs, and they are excellent quality, and very warm without being bulky.

Sizing in line? Thanks!

Yes.

The Striker line of products are very popular up here during the winter for people ice fishing.

 

Just bear in mind they may not technically count as a PFD, or a replacement for one.

I’ll wear my Mustang when running the big motor. I want the benefit of assisted flotation. I’m aware there’s no Coast Guard approval. Thanks! 

I wear the strike bibs and jacket while ice fishing. Very warm they are made for sitting doing nothing so you can get hot very quickly when moving. As others have said not a USCG PFD. It’s considered a float aid. I think it’s only rated for two hours of floatation aid.  

Just in case you are interested,  I bought this vest.  The arm holes are a bit snug but I like the product and the concept.  It’s not bulky, just the right length and exceptionally well made.  I have no plan to test the flotation being water rep is 40 degrees.  Better to go safe.👍
