O'Brien Women's Flex V-Back Life Jacket, Spark

I haven’t used it yet, so this review is just based on my first impressions. The material is really nice and is very high quality. It’s comfortable, but snug like a life jacket is supposed to fit. I got a size XS and I’m 5’2” 100 lbs. I wear an XS tops and have a 30-32 in band size. I understand what the other reviewers mean when they say it runs small, but to me it’s perfect. I would not size up or it will probably ride up.Edit: just wore it in the water yesterday and it gets looser when it gets wet. It did not ride up to my chin. If I got a small, it definitely would’ve.

So far so good. Like others have said, it is a bit on the snug side. However, I love that it is not too long. I'm a shortee and hate when they are a length better suited for a man. Not sure how it will hold up over time (saw other's comment on this), as we've only used it a few times now. Seems like it should be great though. Like that it is stylish and fit for a woman. JM

I highly recommend! Fits perfect and will be so comfortable when riding the jetskis! I did order a size up per the previous reviews and glad I did.

I was worried I wouldn’t be able to breathe in this thing based off some dramatic reviews, but I wish I bought a size small like the size chart suggested (my chest measurement is 34”, B cup and I’m 5’1 & 115lbs, with broad shoulders, 25” waist). I’m returning the medium for a small, which I think will be perfect for me! It was snug, but not enough- I could semi-easily pull the shoulders up by my neck while it was fully zipped and buckled tight & I’m sure in water it would have been worse. It feels and looks like it’s EXTREMELY high quality so I’m 100% pleased with the heftier price I’m paying. The Zebra stripes are so cute and subtle too!! I hope I can wear this thing forever and everrr!! So so fabulous and doesn’t scream obnoxious like other women’s life vests!! Get it!! But GO WITH THE SIZE CHART AND YOUR MEASUREMENTS!

I love the look of this vest, but it is a little tight and I am 5'1" and 102 lbs, AA chest size. Still fits, but snug.

Amazingly light fit quality. Spend LONG days on Yamaha jetskis and neurotic about comfort of life vest as a result. How I missed this gem all these years I have no idea…already ordered two more! I measure a “medium” 5’6 female 145+ pds w not much in the chest area. I went w large (def some room unused in chest but waist and overall fit is spot on) I believe a medium in waste would be overly tight. The large is not sloppy at all. Very Slight adjustment to straps and super snug sea worthy! Love love love !

Worth the price for safety. Fits well and comfortable

Sizing for my wife is tough being 5’ and 110lbs. XS was a bit tight be the S was too big. Sizing it as they claim.LOVE the vest! Loos great but more importantly holds and is comfortable for paddle boarding!
