O'Neill Women's SuperLite USCG Life Vest

I was worried about the fit because of the reviews but these worked perfectly for me and my wife. I ordered the XL for myself and the L for wife. They do run a little small. The XL fits me very well, L is my usual clothing size but XL is my bra size so I’d say the sizing was accurate for me. The L is a little bit tight on my wife, who usually wears M-L clothing. She was able to adjust the straps so it’s still a good fit, but they’re on the larger setting for her. The vests are very comfortable and do not get in the way while kayaking. We’ve only been using them for a few months but they’re showing no signs of wear so far. Good vests

I’m glad I read other’s reviews about sizing and sized up one. I’m a petite, 5ft female usually wear XS/S but sized up to a M in this life jacket and it’s perfect. Feels snug and secure with 4 adjustable front straps. Not terribly bulky either. Highly recommend for value and style.

I kept it because I really like how comfortable it is. However I don’t consider myself to have a large bust and for a women’s jacket you would think the jacket would account for this a bit more. Especially because it fits my waist perfectly fine. I have no issue buckling the top but it’s an awkward gap between my chest.

Overall, I felt this was a good price for what I got. I haven't worn it out or gotten it wet yet so I can't say how much water it retains. I am planning on using it for kayaking and hoping I don't fall in! I would like to mention that the sizing worked well for me. I typically wear a large shirt and the xl jacket is perfect if not a little snug on the tightest setting. I have plenty of room to make this looser should it need to be. My mom liked it so much she is ordering a large and she typically wears a medium shirt. Pros: cute colors, adjustable, comfortable, flattering, fits well, comes with a little loop that hangs down- planning on clipping my keys to it Cons: a little brighter than expected and short on someone with a long torso (but once I'm sitting, that might be a pro!) wish it was neoprene. Overall, I like this and am planning on keeping it. Since my kayak is a two seater, I am planning on buying something more generic and gender neutral to keep for the other seat.

Really nice and looks great on.

Excellent product

Went to use it the other day and it is way too small. It is definitely mis-marked. I would not recommend this O’neill Womens vest. Got from Amazon so not sure if it is an original manufactured product. 7 days past the return date now. Hopefully the seller will refund the purchase price. Original tags and never used.

I wore this to float in the river, and it kept me afloat but I couldn’t fasten it all the way as it was extremely tight and hard to close on my chest. I got a large (typically a medium or large) after reading the measurements and it was still too snug. Size up!
