Stearns Sospenders Sportsman's Chest Pack

This is a good cushion, and is adecuate as a flotation device. What I don't like about the cushion is that instead of it being one solid piece of foam, like the ones we used as kids, it is three or four layers of foam that shift from side to side within the cover. It works fine, but isn't as solid as the ones made from one piece of foam material. I don't think it will hold up as well, but time will tell. Having said that, I think it was a good purchase and would recommend it to those who aren't on the water every week.

I bought this for my 9 year old son at the beginning of the school year 2011. He loves it and despite 5 rough days of school and being tossed and tugged at, the backpack has held up and still looks brand new. My husband believes that quality comes at a price and that is USUALLY true, but I got this on sale and free Prime shipping and it looks just as good as the very expensive brands I see at Dick's and other Sports shops. I do attribute the value to Amazon, sometimes (most of the time) you can't find a better price than on Amazon:) Thanks Amazon, not only for a great backpack for my son at a great price, but for proving to my hubby that I AM RIGHT SOMETIMES;) LOL

We've had one of these for four years. It's still in pretty good shape, although the purple portion is getting a bit faded. We would put it in the water, maybe leave it in overnight, and then take it out again when the weekend was over. So it didn't get a whole lot of weathering. We had the most fun when putting people on it and towing it at very low speed along the shore. When towed at higher speeds, it tended to nose in rather than fly up, maybe because the people were holding on towrds the front. We only did that once or twice. Mostly, we used it as a swimming/sunning platform. We inflated it using a vacuum cleaner and reversing the hose so it blew rather than sucked. When inflated, it was very hard for one person (that was usually ME) to manage and get in and out of the water. But I did it and then partially deflated it so I could get it through the door to the storage area.
