How do you prevent life jackets from coming up over your head?

I’m a big water person and love kayaking, skiing, and canoeing. No matter how many different life jackets I buy I have the same problem of them riding up and strangling my neck when I’m in the water. Some lifejackets make me feel like I’m gonna fall right out (this isn’t good seeing I’m not a great simmer.) I even bought one especially made for women and it didn’t help. Do any of you women out there have the same problem? Is it our build? I saw someone with a strap to keep it from coming up but I dont know where to find them. Is that even the best idea? Thank you for the advice everyone!

Answer #1

I have the same problem! I don’t know how many lifejackets I’ve gone through now, trying to find one that won’t come up over my head. The extra strap sounds like a good idea. The only thing that somewhat helps for me is to make sure the bottom strap is done up as tightly as possible. Sorry I couldn’t be more help, but don’t worry it’s not just you! :)

Answer #2

I have this problem, but you just need to buy a tight fitting one and do it up nice and tightly
