O'Neill Women's SuperLite USCG Life Vest

I was worried about the fit because of the reviews but these worked perfectly for me and my wife. I ordered the XL for myself and the L for wife. They do run a little small. The XL fits me very well, L is my usual clothing size but XL is my bra size so I’d say the sizing was accurate for me. The L is a little bit tight on my wife, who usually wears M-L clothing. She was able to adjust the straps so it’s still a good fit, but they’re on the larger setting for her. The vests are very comfortable and do not get in the way while kayaking. We’ve only been using them for a few months but they’re showing no signs of wear so far. Good vests

I’m glad I read other’s reviews about sizing and sized up one. I’m a petite, 5ft female usually wear XS/S but sized up to a M in this life jacket and it’s perfect. Feels snug and secure with 4 adjustable front straps. Not terribly bulky either. Highly recommend for value and style.

I kept it because I really like how comfortable it is. However I don’t consider myself to have a large bust and for a women’s jacket you would think the jacket would account for this a bit more. Especially because it fits my waist perfectly fine. I have no issue buckling the top but it’s an awkward gap between my chest.

I’m 5’6”, 125lbs, 32C chestOriginally, I ordered a small thinking I fit the chest range. Once I received it, I couldn’t even get it buckled all the way.I returned it for a medium, which is significantly larger. It’s almost too big, but I’m able to adjust it tight enough for a snug (but comfortable) fit. It does sit a little high on my chest (closer to chin), so I’m curious if it will ride up in the water.It is a little bulky, but nothing crazy. A slimmer fit usually means more expensive.I bought this life vest for paddle boarding- I was a little concerned it would rub under my arms (some locations here in Utah require you to wear your vest while on the water), but there’s plenty of room. Overall, a decent life vest for the price.Also- I took a picture with it off to give you an idea of how big it is.

I used this for the first time at the lake a couple weekends back. I felt very secure in it despite the water being somewhat rough and choppy. I used it both for tubing and for just floating in the water. When I was tossed off the tube, each time I popped right back up out of the water, just as I should with this vest. I am about 115 lbs with a small chest, typically wearing a size XS blouse/small t-shirt. The size small in this life vest was almost too tight for me but ultimately made me feel very secure since it fit well. The quality is great, it's lightweight, and it dried quickly after each use!

Definitely youth sizing. I'm a small woman 5'4" 120lbs short torso and size 34b. I can wear a youth large or xl tshirt. This womens medium life vest fits like a bolero and squeezed my chest really tight, since the top two buckles are very very short. Looks nice, but a thin material. Such a hassle.

Great to use

I wore this to float in the river, and it kept me afloat but I couldn’t fasten it all the way as it was extremely tight and hard to close on my chest. I got a large (typically a medium or large) after reading the measurements and it was still too snug. Size up!
