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.

Overall, I felt this was a good price for what I got. I haven't worn it out or gotten it wet yet so I can't say how much water it retains. I am planning on using it for kayaking and hoping I don't fall in! I would like to mention that the sizing worked well for me. I typically wear a large shirt and the xl jacket is perfect if not a little snug on the tightest setting. I have plenty of room to make this looser should it need to be. My mom liked it so much she is ordering a large and she typically wears a medium shirt.Pros: cute colors, adjustable, comfortable, flattering, fits well, comes with a little loop that hangs down- planning on clipping my keys to itCons: a little brighter than expected and short on someone with a long torso (but once I'm sitting, that might be a pro!) wish it was neoprene.Overall, I like this and am planning on keeping it. Since my kayak is a two seater, I am planning on buying something more generic and gender neutral to keep for the other seat.

The vest is attractive, very lightweight, fits snug, and gives you freedom of movement. I use it for kayaking, and I actually wear it, because it cushions my back from the kayak seat. It doesn't rub my neck or my arms. While I have no intention of putting it to use as a life saving device, I have no doubt that it would work quite well, as long as I have it buckled up. It has four buckle straps which seems like an awful lot for passive kayaking, but it's exactly what you'd want for more aggressive water sports.

You! Yes, you reading this! See all those negative reviews regarding the sizing being wayyyyyyyy off? Well, take it from me who took the chance after seeing those reviews and bought this anyways: Oh my lanta listen to them. This thing is sized horribly. You will EASILY have to jump up two sizes from what you normally wear to fit into this thing, and even then, it still might not fit!I'm normally a small in women's shirts and tops. Seeing the reviews regarding the small sizing, I ordered a size up, a medium. I couldn't even get the buckles to close on the medium! The sizing they have on these is an absolute joke. Do they really think that these fit women?? They'd probably only fit a young kid!I ordered a large as well, and I honestly don't even know if that will fit just based off of how small the medium life jacket was!O'Neill has some serious explaining/remeasuring/reality check to do. I don't know how the heck they came up with the sizing on these things. It is bewildering.

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!

These are very good life vests. Well made. Tends to float you on your back if you tilt your head back. Can float and swim on front as well as the arms are not restricted by the vest. Does not slip off when in the water.

La talla viene muy reducida, pedà talla grande y parece que fuera chica. Salvo esta situación es un buen producto
