Happy Easter to all!! I am looking to buy a float jacket and the Mustangs are alittle pricey for me. I have seen the ONYX brand and look pretty nice for the money. They are USCG Approved and wonder if anyone here uses them and I would appreciate their thoughts on them. I also see Sterans has them also. Thanks in advance.

March 31, 2013 at 6:00 pm #1157871Thanks for the reply.Could you ask them if they run true to size to allow for a sweatshirt or pullover under the jacketor have to order a larger size for this?

March 31, 2013 at 10:24 pm #1157926I have heard that they are not waterproof and no there is no hood.

Versatile enough for the warmer weather..
Worn by all the cool people…
Water proof with a built in hood.

I’m about 255 and can wear the Xl over a fleece top and insulated bibs. Not waterproof and no hood. Jacket is very comfortable, I wear it while rowing and shooting.
