Helly Hansen Sport II Buoyancy Aid Review

The Helly Hansen Sport II buoyancy aid is suitable for adults and teenagers, and a good price – which helps get your family on the water.

The Sport II buoyancy aid from Helly Hansen comes in a number of different sizes.

Although this is an adult buoyancy aid, the smaller sizes are ideal ‘youth’ sizes, and we bought this buoyancy aid for our teenage daughter.

This is a basic buoyancy aid but does the job. It’s very affordable too – something we’re very conscious of as getting a family on the water involves shelling out for kit for a lot of people.

This buoyancy aid is easy to put on, with front zip and buckle.

It’s also comfortable to wear and more ‘trendy’ for the fashion conscious teenager. “It’s comfy and stylish” were her words.

The Sport II is lightweight and designed for unrestrictive movement around the arms, so great for padding a canoe or kayak, or for sailer.

“It’s comfy and stylish”

The sizes range from 40kg right up to 90+kg, and it is available in Red, Navy, or White.

We recommend red, as Navy is harder to spot and could make rescue more difficult, and white will soon get dirty.

We recommend getting the red colour buoyancy aid.
