Comments about West Marine Men's & Women's Watersports Life Vests:
I bought the largest size and it came no where close to fitting me. I wear a 44 Long suit jacket and weigh 220, so this was a disappointment. I guess in China the XXL might fit a big guy, but not here.

Comments about West Marine Men's & Women's Watersports Life Vests:
For a 40 inch chest the jacket will close with the two side parts meeting each other and looks right and feels very comfortable.
Once you go past that for the bigger chest sizes, then you are opening up the straps and each part of the chest flotation comes around away from the centre of the chest.
Whilst it still does the job, it is not as comfortable, but it does make for a very versatile PWC vest, 40 - 52 inches!

Comments about West Marine Men's & Women's Watersports Life Vests:
This life vest is as stylish as a life vest can be. No one wants to wear a bright orange vest, so this little pink cutie is just what the style doctor ordered.

My wife weighs 110 and I bought her a medium and it wouldn't fit. I measured my chest before ordering and it was 46" so i ordered the L-XL and it was too small also. Order 1 size larger than you think you might need.
