Review on ๐ŸŒŠ O'Neill Women's Slasher Comp Vest: Sleek & Reliable Protection for Water Sports Enthusiasts by Steve Brethorst

Revainrating 4 out of 5

For safety and buoyancy, one size up is best

I was looking for a slim, flexible, low profile flatwater paddling lifejacket and it ticks the box in terms of performance. ! I'd like a small chest pocket in the front, but it's a sport vest so I get it. As other reviewers have noted, the vest is quite small, although its material has good flex and stretch. The zipper and tongue are metal, although the tongue appears to be more durable than the zipper track. I will update how it works in the water/on the board with pictures and more details. For reference, I usually wear a women's size 10, 29" waist, 40" hips. I ordered a size 12 and it fits snugly around mid-thigh except for a slight bump at the shoulders.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Compatibility
