It doesn't look like the standard life vests that have straps over each shoulder.

It's a Stearns. I bought it a decade or so ago for canoeing and have worn it a lot in our 16 ft Alumacraft also. It is very cool and comfortable.
It does have a strap over each shoulder. Somehow between the angle, the folds in my shirt, and the compression algorithm applied by the forum, one of the straps disappeared in the photo.
I'm a stickler for life jackets, and I always have on on in a boat, even on the hottest days in July and August. This one has worked very well both in the hot months and also in the cold and wet when I've put outerwear over it.
