Writing this a short time after getting the package, so we'll see how it holds up, but so far! Both of my cats (both about 6 months old) took to their new harnesses immediately! One of my cats has been extremely against wearing a harness for more than 10 minutes at a time, and not only has he been wearing it (and playing, laying, and cuddling in it) for half an hour, he held still for me to make the adjustments!
My less-picky kitty also seems to adore hers, as she has no awkward walking.
Personally, I love the ease of adjustment! Definitely beats a bunch of straps that need tucked back in.
Looking forward to leash training them for adventures!!

I have an orange male Maine Coon, and when I first got him at 8 weeks this past January 2026, I excitedly ordered what felt like half the cat-adventure internet, including the regular-size SurferCat Life Jacket. I very quickly realized that, being a Maine Coon, he was going to outgrow it much sooner than I expected! I’ve now ordered the XL, which is still just a little roomy on him, but I suspect he’ll grow into it within the next month or so.

I’m especially excited to bring him to my cabin and let him explore the lakeshore, and eventually try kayaking with me. One of the things I really appreciate about the SurferCat life jacket is that it was actually designed for a cat’s body rather than being a downsized dog life vest. It’s lightweight and streamlined, gives him plenty of freedom to move, and still has thoughtful safety features like the grab handle, reflective strip, and leash attachment.

I’ve become a big fan of SurferCat products in general. My kitten is wild, curious, extremely active, and very hard on his gear, and everything I’ve bought from SurferCat has been impressively sturdy and well made. I also love their escape-proof harnesses. The one I have looks fantastic against his orange fur and, more importantly, feels secure without being bulky or restricting his movement.

For anyone raising an adventurous cat, especially a rapidly growing Maine Coon, I would absolutely recommend SurferCat. Just take my advice and keep an eye on those measurements, because a Maine Coon kitten can apparently outgrow a life jacket practically overnight!

This is my new Surfer Cat Life Jacket and unlike the Wizard costume, Spider-Man outfit, Karate Kid uniform and the countless other useless pieces of clothing the Human purchases for me, this one serves an actual nautical purpose.
It fits me remarkably well and still allows me to perform my Captain duties aboard the vessel..... climbing, exploring, supervising the crew and generally getting into places the Human would prefer I didn’t.
It’s a tiny bit big around my neck at the moment, but I shall grow into it. The important thing is that it doesn’t rub, chafe or irritate my nakedness. And when you’re a Sphynx, you don’t have the luxury of fur to protect your delicate skin from the Human’s questionable fashion choices.
The quality is excellent, sturdy, well made and comfortable. I can move freely, perform my duties and maintain my usual level of Captainial authority without being restricted.
I am therefore awarding this purchase 5 stars!
Finally, Human… you bought something useful.
Perhaps there is hope for you yet.
Although I still question why a Captain needs a Karate Kid uniform.

Mr. Bib chases the chipmunks and birds in the forest and can never back out of this harness. Love it!

This is the second of my cats I have outfitted in the iridescent collection, 10/10 both girls are super fashionable!

The XL iridescent green leather harness is great! The buckles are metal and really easy to latch but strong when together. The clip part is smaller than the cap of the buckle so it is easy to get together, I always have issues with the 2 pronged same width ones cause my cats are fluffy so it is hard to see what I am doing sometimes on the belly buckle but this one is really easy. The xl strap is a bit wider than I’d like but my kitty doesn’t seem to mind it and the weight doesn’t bother her /make her slink. The green is very pretty and matches her eyes so perfectly! Happy with the purchase so far!!

So far love it. Very easy to put on 'unlike some harnesses' one buckle around the neck like a standard collar then one around the body seems very comfortable to my 3yo Maine Coon. I was recommended this, and would recommend it to anyone with an adventurous kitty cat!
And loved the surprise inside thank you SurferCat!

Always the best quality, super cute packaging and lightening fast shipping. Thank you again. Our 3rd harness we’ve bought :)

Harness set arrived quickly in a lovely presentation box. It has been a nice way to allow our indoor kitty to explore the yard a little! She usually hates wearing anything, but adjusted to this harness right away. I am ordering one for her big brother too!

Amazing quality, seller was more than accommodating and helpful when I struggled finding an appropriate size

arrived incredibly quickly, well packaged and feels sturdy, it's very pretty in the light and I wanted something that stood out when you caught a glimpse of it since most the time it'll be hidden under his fur

Arrived fast. The seller allowed me to bundle the summertime leash with the harness. They look great

my item is listed as delivered when I have not recieved it. So shipping was poor. The customer service is top notch and quickly willing to fix the problem. thanks again can't wait to recieve. Previously bought from them years ago and my cat loved the halter.

Good quality item. Love the packaging! (Includes instructions of how to train your cat to use the harness on the back of the box.) Perfect for gift giving.

love this brand. this is my second life vest!
