Slightly hugs the bust line.

The vent is beautiful and I love the colors. However, at 5ft 9in, the ventilation is a little short, reaching mid torso and chest line, well there isn't any. I decide whether to come back or not, which is sad because I really like the vent design.

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • High price

Very good comfortable life jacket

Fits true to size. I bought the large because a lot of reviews said it ran small and the other jacket I ordered definitely ran small. This one is perfect, I returned the large for medium. I wear honey in my clothes and honey is perfect for that. I'm 5ft 3" and my mom is 140lbs.

Pros
  • quality construction
Cons
  • 0

The best size and color for boating and sailing

The sizing is a little strange but I haven't adjusted the pants and they fit exactly as I expected. This jacket also has velcro over the zip and neoprene sleeves over the buckles protecting it. In addition, the coloring is slightly different from that of a human, the body appears dark blue but a little more purple. Although it's still very beautiful!

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • No instructions

Wrong size! Caution.

Wrong size. I bought a size 8 that says 36-39 bust - absolutely not! I'm a 36 chest and it barely fits. The straps are adjustable but tightened. I don't think it will stretch but I can get it to work but over 36 don't buy an 8 it gets uncomfortably tight. Quality looks good but let Revain post exact measurements for these Chinese sellers

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some small things

The size is wrong! DISAPPOINTED!

Bought a size 10 which according to their chart fits a 36-38" bust. Got a size large for a 39-42" bust. I know I'm a Am medium among women in life jackets if I knew their real sizes are S/M/LI I would buy accordingly but they only list sizes 2/4/6/8/10/12 Disappointment and inaccuracy I will be back. On the positive side, the jacket is of good quality, love the turquoise color and arrived on time. That's why 2 stars for it.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • I will add later

Slightly smaller than expected but nice

Bought this with my husband's O'Neill life jacket. I was a bit disappointed that it's a bit bulky in comparison, but I understand it might be necessary since it's US Coast Guard approved. I feel a little tight at the zipper. I'm 5'3", 120 lbs. I ordered a size small but probably should have thought of a medium size for my chest. Aside from being a little tighter and a little bigger than I expected it is comfortable enough and gets the job done. !

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • Update available

SMALL - mind you, it works so little!

It was tiny. I usually wear a medium size 8 for all women's clothing and jackets. I ordered this at 8am and couldn't even zip it up. I was annoyed because I needed it by the weekend. As with most things on Amazon you can't trust the sizing, recommend ordering a size up or several sizes and then returning which doesn't work. It was well made and beautiful but I sent it back and ordered a different brand adult one size life jacket at a much lower price which came promptly and was great.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • There are bugs

Too small, will be returned

I'm usually a medium-sized woman in almost everything, my chest is 36 inches, so I chose the size 8 listed above. When I opened the box my initial reaction made it look small, but that didn't bother me too much. I was wearing a regular cotton t-shirt and when I put the vest on I could barely breathe - no lie lol. I loosened the straps but tightening them certainly doesn't change the size. I can't really use it as it's too small. The print on the vest says Medium (chest 36-39 inches), but that's

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Quality vest, slightly larger than others.

I liked this vest and it fits as expected, but the Connelly U-Hinge neoprene vest won because it has more flex area and feels less bulky in the upper area and I liked the Connelly decorative pattern better. But this O'Neil vest was my second choice and it wasn't an easy decision. The O'Neil vest has some details that show its quality, such as a small velcro flap that hides the zipper. And the shoulder straps are long enough to be stowed on the sides without a holder. This O'Neil vest is…

Pros
  • Great overall
Cons
  • Doubtful
