Well today i picked up my new chinook PFD. But before i use it on the water i would like to know what is the proper way to adj the fit. How low should it sit on the body?? Waist, belly button or above it. I understand it should be snag. Any you tube videos that show the proper fit??

Snug around the torso.....You dont want it to ride up should you go in the water. Test by pulling up on the shoulder straps. If the straps are tight and it still rides up the pfd is too big
