help with purchase of new life vest

[CarFanatic]

I'm wanting to buy a new life vest, I like the slippery switch, but have no idea how it fits, or what size to get. Are these good vests?

 

[tipafew]

Yeah, I like those vests. How big are you?

 

[SuperJETT]

There is a wakeboard shop selling Jet Pilot neoprene vests (USCG approved) for $42 shipped, though XL and up only. I bought a XL but it's too big, how about a smoking deal on it?

Buy the slippery wetsuits one size bigger and the life vests one size smaller.

I'm 5'9" and 195 lbs and fall somewhere in between the large and medium, I prefer the fit of the medium life vests though.

I"m 5 10, about 160lbs... small skinny guy. I Was thinking medium? I like a snug fit, but dont want it to be to short length wise.

Probably a L. I'm 5'10" also, and the JP XL is too long for me, hits my legs when I bend them.

ok, anyone konw a good place to buy them for a resonable price?

i wear a large/xl in the new jetpilot side entry race vest and wear a medium in the switch vest.

I am 6-1, 190lbs and my large switch (brand new) is a little too big for me. I think I would prefer a medium, looking to try a medium to be 100% certain.

 

[CarFanatic]

hmm then maybe a medium small for me??

 

[CarFanatic]

wheres a good place to buy online?

I think medium is what I will try.

 

[AtomicPunk]

from what I found there are no "deals" to be had.... I thing everyone is at $89

 

[CarFanatic]

where? I saw 94.99

The switch is nice because its a bit longer than most other jackets.
