This belt is not big and bulky like the others.  I have degenerative disc in all of my neck and arthritis along my spine.  I do deep water exercises and have been looking for a belt that will keep me erect and allow me to do my workout with ease.  It stays at my waist and does not ride up..

I was afraid to order this product based on the above negative reviews; but wanted the least bulky-looking buoyancy belt &this is what the CSR recommended.  I have a bad hip & knees & want the added security while in deep water.  I love this thing & am glad I ordered it.  It does not ride up or make you off balance while swimming or flipping (like the Speedo belts I have used).  I will note, it is stiff; but like a new pair of shoes, just break it in before using it in the water.  I am 5'0" & a 100 pounds & have a 28" waist.  It is that long, but does not affect my arms while swimming & mine had a really cool smell to it (like watermelon).  I'm glad I ordered it & would recommend it to others.

I use this product in swim lanes at the local recreation centers.  It fits well and stay where you tighten it to.  There is minimal interference from the belt as you do the areobic exercises.  This with a pair of gloves allows me to get a good heart rate going.

From the photo it is hard to see what a perfect fit it will be!!

Thank  you

Its too long, too thick at the end and overall surprised at how hard the material is. My arms bump those constantly and it hurts so why use?Contemplating sending back because it's so uncomfortable.

Fits comfortably and stays in place well. Does not rub on inside of arm. The best of three different brands I have tried over the years.

This belt is one of several I have used and is definitely my least favorite. On slender people, it pinches around the ribs. The buckle is a slide mechanism that is difficult to tighten fully and which requires sliding the entire mesh section around each time you put it on. I am a normal sized woman, but this belt does not provide enough flotation for me to comfortably have my head above water. I wish I had stuck with the Aquajogger models I used before as this belt is useless and now I have to buy another one.
