Q: Quel est le poids maximal??
Dans les caractéristiques c'est écrit : "pour personne de plus de 90 lbs". Et dans spécification il est écrit "capacité maximale de charge 90.39 lbs" C'est contradictoire. J'aimerais connaître le poids minimal et maximal svp.
A: Bonjour. UL n'indique pas spécifiquement de poids maximum, mais il est précisé que le poids minimum doit être supérieur à 90 livres et que les tailles adultes sont principalement déterminées par le tour de poitrine. Il n'y a donc pas de poids maximum, mais un poids minimum pour les adultes. Veuillez choisir votre taille en fonction du tour de poitrine.

Q: Please put recommended weights on life jackets
It would be great if the site mentioned the appropriate weight sizes for the actual sizes. I d like to know at this point for the small (ie. 90 lbs-to how many lbs) as my 9 yr old no longer fits in the 60-90 lbs.

A: The sizing is based on chest size measurements.
It is made for people who weigh more than more than 90 lbs (40.8 kg)
When the user feels it is too large or too small when he wears the vest, he can adjust the straps on the buckle part.

A: Bridgewater NS Canadian Tire allowed me to try it on. I am a small lady 5"5" 120 lbs and bought a small. Toggles have four inches of extension on them. I always bought my old life jacket based on weight so it was new for me too.
