Does this item run small? I am an X-small in a kerrits vest. Do the sizes run the same between both vests?

The vest runs true to size, but the fit is trim and close, especially when layering. The tailoring is well shaped.

I have only used large and it was a snug fit. I don't know if it would fit X-Large, but I can't see why not.

No it doesn't run small. Just make sure you take the proper measurements as directed and won't have any problems with the fitting. They are a great product and I highly recommend them.

Sheryl, this vest is really small. However, an XL size I think will give your grandson a couple of years of good use. Remember also, you don't go wrong with Amazon; you can return it easily and order a bigger size . :) I hope your grandson will enjoy.

As far as I can tell, yes. I normally wear a 2XL shirt, my vest is 2XL and fits just fine.

The sizes run on rh small size. If you are an x-large it will be snug. If you have a large waistline it will be really snug there. I wished for myself I would have ordered th next size up

My successful experience was to get an XL for fit and comfort and then use a cord belt to secure the vest around my waist to prevent it from riding up when I dived. That worked best for me. Good luck and enjoy.

I would go for the 2X or 3X but seriously, when buying a life vest you are WAY BETTER OFF going to a marine store and trying one on than trying to guess the size online. I have a 36" chest and wear a size 6 pants and the small size BARELY fits me, so when they say a small fits up to a 38" chest it isn't true. I should have bought a medium.

i usually wear a large and got the large vest. it is a trim fit because of the tailored design and construction, but it fits comfortably over a long-sleeved shirt. if you like a loose fit or would wear it over bulky sweaters you might want to size up, but a small should be ample for wear with most shirts.

Small should fit perfect! I have one here I measured. I have from small to large here if anyone needs measurements.

This item does not fit true to size. I own the parka in Xl and it is snug. I just ordered it in 2X. Columbia typically runs small so order up!

Hard to say. My opinion after trying several different vests and buying the wrong one originally, is they are very personal in shape and features and putting a few different models on with weight in them makes all the difference. In just a few seconds you can tell what works for you based on how it rides with weight in it. I'm 6", 185#, 33" waist, 42" chest and the L/XL is about perfect. The internet says the following: SIZING AT RIBCAGE (UNISEX) S/M: 30.5 - 33.5 in. / 78 - 85 cm L/XL: 33.5 in. + / 85 cm + Note: Measure wearing the clothes you intend to wear. Size down if in-between sizes. From here: http://www.ultramarathonrunningstore.com/Nathan-VAPORWRAP-Race-Hydration-Vest-p/vaporwrap.htm

I just saw a small and a large right next each other at Dicks today (13 Jul) and the difference is very little. I'm 5'10" and I bought the large. Hope this helps!

Patricia,I bought this vest to Kayak in and I got an X-L and have a 48" and weigh 220 lbs and some room for it to expand. Hopefully that helps

I think that they are. I take an XL in shirts and jackets and an XL in a Rothco vest fits me just right. Excellent vests by the way. Mine gets lots of use, many washes, and has held up flawlessly for five years.

Yes, the vest has a neoprene waist and velcro across the entire width. This will certainly appear "smaller" on you than on me (I am 5'4" and 130lbs.), but it will do the job of putting 10 pound of well distributed weight on your chest and back. (I have four of these now, each on stationed in a city I visit frequently. For me it really is that good.)

I am 5.11 180 lbs... size 30 waist.... i have to snug the belts on the side almost all the way... my guess is it will fit... this fits me perfect with alot of room to expand... so it should fit... ooh and once u break it in it will loosen up for a better fit...but i believe there is two different sizes on this vest.. M/L and XL/2XL. I have the M/L and i love this rig...almost all pockets adjustable and great for day trips or grab and go situations... i keep it fully loaded and hangin in my closet with a heavy duty hanger...
