Product Information
The Akona Hi-Viz Junior Snorkel Vest with Oral Inflator (SKU AKSV114) is a child-sized buoyancy vest for snorkeling, built with a neon orange hi-viz shell, an oral inflator for adjustable buoyancy, and two adjustable straps with squeeze-style side-release buckles.
Who it is for
This vest is designed for young snorkelers who need extra buoyancy support and visibility in the water. It is sized Junior and fits over the head, then secures to the body with adjustable waist and crotch straps. Akona also offers the same vest in an adult size, so the rest of the family can wear a matching vest.
Key details
- Shell constructed of durable nylon with a urethane laminate interior and radio frequency (RF) welded seams.
- Oral inflator lets the snorkeler add or release air to set buoyancy, from a slight lift under the chest to full inflation.
- Oral inflator is fitted with a threaded lock for added safety.
- Two adjustable straps close with squeeze-style side-release buckles for a secure, easy-on, easy-off fit.
- Neon orange hi-viz color makes the wearer easier to spot on the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an adult version of the Akona Junior Snorkel Vest?
Yes. Akona offers the same style of snorkel vest in an adult size in addition to this Junior model (AKSV114), so the whole family can wear a matching hi-viz vest while snorkeling together.
How does the oral inflator on the Akona Junior Snorkel Vest work?
The snorkeler blows into the oral inflator to add air and increase buoyancy, or releases the valve to deflate. A small amount of air can act like a pillow under the chest to hold the head and snorkel above water, while full inflation supports rest in stressful situations. The oral inflator is equipped with a threaded lock for added safety.
What is the Akona Junior Snorkel Vest made of?
The vest is built from a durable nylon shell with a urethane laminate interior, and the seams are radio frequency (RF) welded for a strong, long-lasting construction.
How does the Junior snorkel vest stay secured on a child?
The vest slips over the head and is held in place with two adjustable straps at the waist and crotch. Each strap uses squeeze-style side-release buckles, which allow a secure fit as well as quick, easy donning and doffing.
