Are the sizes pretty accurate? I am looking to purchase this vest for someone who generally wears medium sized shirts, but I noticed one reviewer suggested buying a size up.

You definitely want to get that person a large if they wear medium, I wear XL but I got a 2X so I would have room if I had to wear a sweatshirt underneath, and I usually do wear extra shirts when I go out fishing in the morning because it is really cool at that time in the morning till the sun comes up.

The one I bought for my husband was just a little snug. He recommends getting a size up.

I bought the youth (small) for my 12 year old grandson and it was WAY too small. I am changing to a large--at least that way he can grow into it, if need be

I can not answer this question with any authority other than I am 6'1, weigh 300 and I bought the 4x size and it is comfortable. It is wearing nicely. I just wish it had pockets on the inside of the bottom section as some things manage to find a way out of the pockets I put them in. ))

I'm not familiar with all the sizes, but I do know that the 2x I ordered fit comfortably over a 2x shirt. In my case, the sizes are accurate

Using the measurement guidelines provided, I bought the medium for my dog. She is about 40-45 lbs. It fit fairly snug around the stomach; and we had to pin it at the neck to keep it from coming unzipped in the water, but my dog has a big neck. I would rather it be a little tight than too loose in the water. It's a nice vest. I hope this helps you.hope this is of some help to you.

I really don't know what your question is. If you are asking if the vest sizes are properly sized according to the measurements you take, then I say yes they are. I took my dog's measurements and ordered accordingly. It fits perfectly. I love this vest because there is only one snap to deal with. When I bring it out of the drawer, she knows she is going outside. We love it. Good luck.

I'm going to be quite thorough. I apologize in advance! To give you an idea of how a medium fit on me, I'll explain my build (Not to weird you out); I'm 5'6", 180, 32 Waist, broad shouldered "Athletic" build- I usually buy Medium shirts or 16" Collars for dress shirts. The Medium fit well and it wasn't baggy (It wasn't skin tight like under armor) If you prefer a more loose fit, I suggest you buy a next size up)

im 5'5", flux between 118-123lbs and just purchased the xs today. i went to a store to try on the sizes and the small, while it fit, wasn't snug. a lot of the reviews i've read say to err on the side of tighter to prevent the vest from riding up while in use. i like that the xs feels like a secure hug. the only thing is that the bottom of the vest ends around my natural waist, which won't be as warm.

Hmmmm i weigh 138pounds,5 feet 4 inches,medium built,my waist(along my belly button)is 31inches,my chest is 38inches(while exhaling)and this shirt is waaaaaaaaaay way way to large for me,i ended up selling this item. The quality is perfect but the size is very unfit for me...i hope this answers your question

I wear a large jacket size and have a large vest. It seems to fit a little bigger than a regular jacket, but I like it that way myself. I think the sizes run fairly true.....

I can tell you what experience has taught me.These shirts are meant to be a bit snug;not take your breath away snug but a little bit as to improve performance.So for instance where I normally wear an XL I'd go for a large and so far that's worked for me.Hope that helps.Best of luck with everything!

i'm 5'10, 185-190 lbs and wear this in a large. i would say it runs true to size but also it is longer than your average shirt (like hanes or FOTL). it's good if you wear it as an undershirt, as it won't untuck nearly as easily as those other brands. it's a higher quality shirt, too, imo. the only other shirt i like as much is the hanes beefy T but those are a little more expensive.

I'm with jaybird. Size is pretty true - Sleeves are a bit short. Personally? I'd go larger (but I'm not wearing with the usual vest).

I am 6'5 with a 50" chest and bought the XXL/XXXL which fit perfectly. The front closure is adjustable , so the XL/XXL should work fine when you add the waders. I only wear the vest with a t-shirt. I hope this helps and I always say, better a little large than too snug.

I'm a woman who usually takes about a size 12-14 in regular clothes. I've been wearing a Medium size vest for about 4 years now, with a polo shirt underneath, and it's quite comfortable. The Small would be way too small for me. Large would be ok if I was wearing it in very cold weather and wanted a lot of layers underneath. The vest is meant to be roomy but it is in no way fitted. The pockets are its best feature (21-23, depending on how you count). I'm a docent at a major zoo, and we use these vests as part of our uniforms. I liked them so much that I bought one of my own for vacations. The many pockets mean that I don't have to carry a purse or bag when I travel. Hope this helps.

I haven't actually worn mine and it is up for the winter, but I think that the sides are adjustable. I was advised by my friend who I tried on in September when it was blazing hot and his fit, that it is suppose to be worn snug. His was so nice and cool and the weight of the vest eased the tension in my neck. I weigh between 150 and 190 and ordered L/XL. Tried it on when I got it. Fit fine. Am looking forward to wearing mine this summer.

Well I have the medium shirt but I would recommend to try to get your proper size since the shirt tends to rise over time plus a smaller size than normal might restrict some movement

Large would be fine Heidi...you wouldn't want a vest that was too tight...mine fit perfectly and sounds like I am the same size as your husband...

Our dog was just under and the vest(small) was a tiny bit snug. Don't know what next size up would be but rather have it not slip. At 20# might try up a size. Good luck

I normally wear XL. but when it came it was to small. so I reordered a 2XL. it's a little large but i'm going to keep it. It's a great vest for concell carry. .... jack
