The quality of the life vest appears to be good, however, the sizing needs to be more accurately described on the page. The vest is labelled as child 30-50lbs. This vest rode very high and was tight around the neck on my slender build 40lbs (6yr old) boy. I instead ordered the youth version of this vest which fit much better.

Plenty of convenient pockets and the reflective material is bright.  It seems to be well made, but the sizing is inaccurate.  I normally wear Large shirts and jackets, but in this vest, Medium would fit better.

Love the life jacket, but the fit is very peculiar. I wish I had read reviews first so I would have known to go up a size. My wife is average sized and wears a medium everything. In this life jacket she needed a large, and the top two straps have almost no slack left, while the bottom two straps have tons of slack!
If it fit like a normal article of clothing, it'd be 5 stars!

I ordered this for my husband. He wanted a denim vest to put the various patches he has collected from different motorcycle runs we have attended. I ordered the XXL for my husband. He usually wears an XL. He tried the vest on but it was way to small around his chest. The vest has a great length and if it wasn't so long I would.probably wear it myself. I usually wear a medium or large in a woman's jacket and this fits around me just fine. So I would say that, except for the length, this vest fits at least two sizes smaller than you would usually wear. So, order up two sizes. It is, however, a very nice, well made garment.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for writing a review based on the results of my testing it. I am not affiliated with this company and I did not promise to write a positive review when the offer was made. I tested this product thoroughly and do my best to provide detailed reviews to other Amazon customers so they may make informed decisions about their future purchases. It is my intent to highlight features and drawbacks that I, as a consumer, would want to know about before I purchase the product, not to inflate the product's quality for the distributor or manufacturer to increase their sales. It is my hope that these reviews are helpful to others. The views I have expressed here are completely my own and are in no way influenced by the promotion I received.

This life vest is well made for the price.  I bought two of them since I liked the product.  It was packaged well and arrived within the estimated delivery window. I would highly recommend this item.

Good quality but sizing is a little off. Not by much, but enough to make the fit too snug

I bought a BARE 7mm full wetsuit, and then ordered this vest to go under it. Interestingly, I was a size 8 in the wetsuit. The size 8 vest was WAAAAYYYY small. I ended up ordering a size 12 and it's still pretty snug. It stretches, so it should be OK, but time will tell. I'm surprised that the same manufacturer (with the same size chart across their women's products) would have such a large discrepancy in size between the products.

Aside from the sizing issues, I like the vest - it seems well made and it's comfortable.

While the vest fits and serves its purpose, it is a bit small.  The XXL does not let me zip up the vest.  Lots of pockets which is the reason I purchased this item.

This vest is a good value, the fabric is better quality than I expected for the price. However, this "Large" would only fit someone with a 34inch bust.... I am adding 2 inches of fabric to *each* side to fit my medium-to-large size body, then I can enjoy the vest!

Product is high quality and comes as advertised. My gripe is that the vest needs better straps and adjustability. Having a buckle in each strap end, having them meet under the dogs belly, in the middle would would work much better. With the current configuration the vest slides all over the place. Tried two different sizes and neither option stayed in place very well.

When I first received this reflective vest I was not impressed. I felt that it was way too small for the moderately sized man that I am. The workmanship is excellent and it reflects at night very well. I initially left a 3-star review only based on the smallish sizing. I received an email from the "boss" of the company so I replied letting him know that I was not happy with the purchase. He wrote right back and told me that there was an x-large size as well. So, apparently I was the idiot who purchased the wrong size thinking it was 'one size fits all'. This gentleman offered to send me the appropriate size at no charge. I just received it today. Great customer service! Note: My 5-star review is only based on the quality of the product and the excellent customer service and not on the fact that I received this reflective vest at no charge.

This is a well made vest with a good zipper. I unfortunately had to send it back because it was too small. I don't think it would fit a kid past the age of 8. My child is 80 ponds and this was way too small.

I love this life vest, it seems really well made and comfortable. I would recommend using the measurements provided versus going by weight alone, we ordered the XL 85 pounds and up for our 68 pound poodle mix and its a perfect fit, I think the large would've been too small. There is a lot of room, so i do think this woukd fit taller, slimmer dogs over 100 pounds easily.  There is a lot of adjustment on the vest.

The quality/material is good but the size needs improvement

This is a really nice vest in a unique color. My 16 year old son loves it, but I've had to return it twice. The sizing chart is WAY off on this peices of clothing! My son is 6ft 1 inch tall, maybe 185-190lbs...fairly tall and thin. His chest measures 40in. The chart said size L. That's what I ordered. It was too small. He couldn't get it buttoned. So I sent it back and ordered an XL...that's supposed to fit 42 in chest...it was still TOO SMALL. So we've now ordered a 2XL.  We'll have to wait and see if it fits. There hadn't been a problem with the length of the vest. It's plenty long enough to accommodate my son's 6ft height, it's just really narrow. But he REALLY likes this vest, so we're trying one more time.

The size is suitable. The materials of vests are pretty good and soft. I am satisfied with the vests. That's it.

A high quality item. However, it fits a size larger than described.
