Materials

What makes this unit extra special is that it has a few pockets that can be used to hold important things that you want to keep on your person as you are swimming.

It also has a collar that is just a little bit longer than some of the others, offering a little bit more room for adjustments.

It is also available in multiple colors that include yellow, orange, and pink.

Materials
This model utilizes two distinct types of materials for the bladder that serve very specific purposes. The interior of the bladder is constructed from a PVC membrane- which is very durable as well as simple to inflate. The top of the bladder is coated with a canvas material that feels comfortable against the skin, but it also incredibly durable against punctuation.

Sizing
Much like all horse collars, this is a one size fits all type of product. However, the additional straps and buckles make it easy to adjust to any body shape. It is designed to fit comfortably for persons that weigh between 80 to 220 pounds.

Features
One of the best things about this design is that it is incredibly easy to inflate and deflate. The oral nozzle on the right breast is able to fully inflate the unit in approximately 10 seconds and can deflate just as fast. This easy to use nozzle is great when you want to adjust your buoyancy while you are swimming. When you are done using it, it stores up neatly and compacts in a mesh carrying case that is included with purchase.

Summary
If you are in the market for something that is simple to use, affordable and has a larger neck hole that a lot of the other designs out there on the market- this is going to be a perfect fit for all of your needs without breaking the bank.

Style
The design of this horse collar model is a little bit more compact than some of the others you might come across. The neck, for instance, is a bit smaller than some of the others- which might prove to be a little uncomfortable for some, so keep that in mind while considering this design. It is offered in three colors- black (which you don’t see very often with these types of products), pink, and safety yellow.

Materials
The materials used to construct this design are of high quality and made to withstand the harshest of salt water. The bladder is constructed of 210 denier urethane coated nylon which makes it incredibly tough. It also utilizes straps that are made from a tough nylon and plastic squeeze style buckles that made for an easy release when it is time to pack up and head home.

Sizing
Unlike a lot of the other horse collar designs out there- this isn’t a one size fits all type of situation. There are three different sizes that you can select from, and they include a child size (up to 100 pounds), and adult size (100-190 pounds) and an extra large that will hold up to 230 pounds). It fastens in place with a series of straps and buckles that are easily adjusted into place up the middle and around the waist.

Features
This unit has an oral inflator that is easy to use, and it is made from high-grade materials that won’t break down over time. To use, simply unscrew the mouthpiece to fill the bladder with air, and leave the mouthpiece open if you wish to deflate it in order to dive underwater. One thing that is included with purchase that other products don’t have is a safety whistle that affixes right next to the oral value for easy access if you ever need it (and we hope you don’t!)

Summary
If you are in the market for something that doesn’t come in bright and flashy safety colors and fits incredibly comfortably in place- this is going to be a great fit. Keep in mind, however, that it’s set at a slightly higher price point than many of the other similar horse collar designs.

Style
The jacket design is made exactly as it sounds- it slips on over the shoulders exactly like a jacket. It is a little bit bulkier, but there are some added benefits to the additional materials. It is only offered in one color option- a black top with a safety yellow bottom.

Materials
The back of this unit is made from soft yet durable neoprene, and the front is constructed from nylon- making is resistant to becoming punctured or wearing out quickly. It has reflective yellow tape on the surface to ensure that you are never overlooked in the water, and an adjustable nylon waist strap to help keep the entire unit in place at all times. These materials are designed to not only keep you comfortable but also keep you warm if you are swimming in cooler waters.

Sizing
The downside to this unit is that it doesn’t come in various sizes. This can be a problem due to the fact that it fits like a jacket, and not all shapes of people can wear the same jacket. Users don’t seem to find this to be an issue, however- most likely due to the adjustable straps around the waist.

Features
There is a nozzle that is located to the right of the breast that is able to blow up the interior bladder with air if you find yourself tired of swimming. When you decide that you want to dive down under the water, simply deflate the bladder and dive down. The neoprene and nylon materials will keep you warm even if you dive under some chilly waters.

Summary
If you feel that you would not like the horse collar design, and want something that fits like a piece of gear instead of a life jacket- this will be well worth the slightly higher price tag.

Style
This horse collar design is offered in two safety colors- yellow and orange. It has sharp black accents along the edges, and the KUYOU logo printed in the bottom left corner. To put it on, you simply pull your head through the medium sized neck hole at the top and adjust it into place.

Materials
The exterior is made out of a type of material called TPU. TPU stands for thermoplastic polyurethane, and it is a mixture of both hard and soft plastics- perfect for making a bladder that is both durable but flexible. The straps used to adjust it into place are constructed from stitched nylon, and the buckles are made from hard plastic.

Sizing
Much like all horse collars, this one is a one size fits all. To ensure that you get the proper fit before you hit the water, be sure to adjust the straps that run along the waist, and the ones that run under the crotch (to avoid it riding up around your neck while swimming).

Features
Along the breast, there is an oral hose that is used to inflate and deflate the bladder. If you find yourself getting tired, simply squeeze the oral mouthpiece together with your teeth and blow to inflate it, and squeeze it together without blowing to let the air out of it. When you are done, it will fold up and fit nicely into a mesh carrying case that is included with purchase.

Style

It is accented along the edges with sharp black stitching, a heavy duty zipper in the middle of the bladder, and the Typhoon Sports logo at the bottom in black letters. The neck hole is a little smaller than some of the others that you might see on the market- however, some users actually prefer the smaller neck.

Materials

Sizing

Features
What makes this unit stand out from the crowd is the addition of a zippered pocket on the front. These types of pockets are pretty standard on the jacket designs, but you don’t see them very often on the horse collar options. It also has an oral hose that has a locking mechanism so that you can be sure that you will not be losing air when the bladder is completely full.

Summary
If you are in the market for something that has some of the features of a jacket design but doesn’t come with the heavy price tag- this is going to be the best option to suit all of your nautical needs on your next vacation. Plus, it folds up compactly to be able to throw into a suitcase.

Style

Sizing
Unfortunately, this is a one size fits all type of scenario- and it is only functional for adults that weight between 100-180 pounds. While the bladder might work for those that weigh more than that- the straps are what might be a little to short for users that weigh over 180 pounds.

Features

To inflate it, simple unscrew the nozzle to the hose and blow air into the bladder when you feel you are getting tired of swimming.

Features
To inflate the bladder, simply unscrew the top cap and blow into the oral hose. When you are ready to dive underwater, simply leave the cap off and press on to the unit itself to let out the air. The downside to this design is that it isn’t very practical to have to take off a cap while in the water- you will probably lose it upon your first trip into the water.

Summary
