I have not seen one in the flesh but Yak are a reputable brand. Just make sure you get one that is big enough to fit over any dry/wet suit you may wear. Always adjust the straps so that you have it securely fitted. If you are rescued ( hopefully not needed) the RNLI may well lift via the shoulder straps and if they lift and the PFT just comes up over your head it has failed. Likewise if you end up in the water it could ride up above your shoulders. Correct fitting of a PFD is essential.

I have the YAK and it is left in the garage because it rides over my head in the water.
It depends what shape you are and the best way is to go and try as many on that you can. If I had done that in the first place, I would not be on pfd no 3 and saved £100 in the process.
The straps and waist bands make a huge difference to the fit and you will find that some fit far better than others. Don't buy one on the internet until you have checked that it is suitable.
