The 8 Best Life Jackets of 2025 | Tested Rated - GearLab When deployed, the inflatable waist belt devices are designed to deliver the most flotation, with the NRS Zephyr boasting 27 8 pounds The Onyx M-16 can get close to that amount of flotation through additional oral inflation Although all are designed to deliver more buoyancy than the life jackets we tested, once activated, none of the
NRS Zephyr Review | Tested Rated - GearLab Once deployed, the Zephyr is designed to provide 27 8 pounds of buoyancy, the most out of any of the personal flotation devices we tested That said, as the jacket is not fully secured to your body like the other vests we tested, the buoyancy doesn't feel like it is floating your body any higher in the water than when wearing other PFDs rated
NRS Ninja Review | Tested Rated - GearLab Flotation The updated Ninja has a graded floatation system, meaning that different sizes provide different levels of floatation to better match the body size of the wearer Check the NRS sizing chart for the correct life jacket to float you
The 5 Best Snowshoes of 2025 | Tested Rated - GearLab Flotation is how well you stay on the surface of the snow Surface area (as measured in square inches) is the prime determinant of flotation, and more is better The shape of a snowshoe also affects how well it floats A wide, oval frame provides better flotation in deep snow than a narrow, tapered design
Astral E-Ronny Review | Tested Rated - GearLab Flotation The E-Ronny is designed with 16 pounds of buoyancy, with more flotation distributed on the front than the back This is a USCG Type III jacket; however, it offers approximately 0 3 -0 5 pounds less flotation than some of the other jackets we tested
GoPlus Review | Tested Rated - GearLab The extra “play” in the deck and strapped connection mentioned above in the Flotation metric also detracted from the walkability of the GoPlus Strapped binding to deck connections often feels sloppier, and our testers said that “this model feels even a bit more sloppy than the others” Again, it wasn't a big concern on short, mellow
Astral Layla Review | Tested Rated - GearLab Flotation The Layla is designed to deliver 16 3 pounds of flotation, surpassing requirements for US Coast Guard certification as a Type III PFD The foam on this PFD is distributed evenly across the vest, delivering a secure and comfortable float
NRS Vapor Review | Tested Rated - GearLab The interior is a softer material than the exterior, making it pleasant to wear against the skin all day, wet or dry Rather than concentrating flotation in specific areas, the Vapor's padding is spread more evenly around the jacket, keeping it thinner and avoiding excessively bulky areas like some other vests
TSL Symbioz Hyperflex Elite - Womens Review | Tested - GearLab Flotation Flotation can be an essential feature depending on the terrain you prefer A shoe's float isn't nearly as crucial if you are on packed trails with ice more often The Symbioz Elite does not score highly in this metric because of its narrow footprint and longitudinal flexibility Although we don't like how it sinks in deep powder, it
Goplus - Womens Review | Tested Rated - GearLab Their flotation is adequate for on-trail hikes and short off-trail excursions, while traction is sufficient for easy, low-grade terrain in mild conditions Although a non-slip heel plate helps keep boots securely in place, we found that it tends to accumulate ice when faced with sloppier conditions, which could potentially reduce its effectiveness
