I want to use this for exercise in the pool, what size do I buy? I am 5'9, 160 lbs. Also, If I buy the 4 module can I remove to 3 module? Thanks

Hello, I would suggest you buy a 4 module.I find it most useful when my weight is evenly distributed. I have not tried it without the fourth but I have read other reviews that state better buoyancy is achieved with evenly distributed foam pieces. I believe that to be true.

You can remove the floats. As for which size you need that all depends on how much floatation assistance you need in the water.

I used a 15.4 pounder and it was a mistake. Too heavy for this type of workout. I ordered a 10 pound and maybe will order a 7 now that I have read all the above suggestions!

What about for a small woman? I am 5'4 120lbs? I only hear about guys knocking it around with sand. Do you think it will still move with water with someone my size?

I bought the 9'10" inflatable (which is 6 inches thick & has a weight capacity of 350 lbs.). I absolutely love it for the lake. I had no need for the longer version, & wanted the ease of maneuverability, plus being able to carry & stow the board while fully inflated. I like the paddle that's included, too, & it's better than the ones I purchased standalone.

I bought a 6-6x for my daughter who is around 45 lbs. If I were you, I'd buy a 4T, so there is some room to move (and grow). Unlike adult wet suits for scuba diving, you don't want this one super tight. Incidentally, my daughter is still a little cold in this wet suit, just because it's so cold outside. But she is much happier at swim class now!

I also am 240 and 5'8" and the xlarge I bought works fine wore it for over 20 dives and they will take it back .Just use a mixture of shampoo and water to make it easier to put on.

i'm heavier and taller than you and the extra large worked for me, so i'm guessing you might want a large. you definitely don't want tri shorts to be too big b/c they slow you down and be uncomfortable in the water and on the run. however, i can't recommend these shorts b/c i did not like the fit at all and ended up returning them. i use a one-piece for triathlon and it works for me. of course, these might work for you - the price is definitely nice! good luck.

If your thin and will be actually surfing, buy the correct size. If your have any fat, even ten pounds...you will want the next size bigger, it fits skin tight when wet and is uncomfortable. The next size up is more comfortable for other water sports.

Get the 18mths to 2 yrs I think its the Xl size as the 12 to 18 myths will be to small, or you will not get much usage out of them. we run a swim school and except for small and medium for bubs up to 12 mths we tell everyone to go for the next size up as they are a better fit. Cheers Caroline

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

Don't get it too large. Mine is an extra large. I wear a 14 and it is way too big. Adjusting the belt helps. Even though it slides up a bit, it allows me to do my deep water aerobics.

I bought this model for my wife how is 4'11" and around 106 lbs. It seems to fit her well. Best bet is to go to a dive shop and try on their suits. You may have to result to trial and error.

It would be best for you to go to MiR weights online. There you can find a contact phone number for the company. While I personally don't think it would be an issue I would recommend getting the additional support straps. While "skinny" does not give quite enough information when it comes to measurements; I am certain my vest could be adjusted smaller.

I have a 27' and only needed 4 sections, do to my village rules & regulations. You should be totally fine with just section A (8 Sections). It went a 1/3 around my pool.

Yes. I wish I had it when I went to the Galapagos island last month. I was snorkeling and would have felt safer if I had taken the flotation with me. I'm 5' with a waist of 33" and I got the small. You can use it for floating and when you turn it around, you can use it for swimming. Love it. Check the sizes and make sure you get the right one. Good luck.
