I got this as a low-cost, cool-looking life jacket to go with the
kayak I bought at the same time. If you're looking for a cheap way to
get around the life-preservers-are-mandatory laws, and you weigh 90 to
~135 pounds, and you have a small frame, then this is the life jacket
for you! It looks especially cool alongside the blue one (Halo: Red vs.
Blue, anyone?).
Now on to why I returned mine: Listing says "Universal Adult", but more accurately sized for a child. I'm 5'8" with shirt size 15 1/2 32-33; this was ridiculously small on me. Weight capacity on product: min 90 lbs, no max given.
Putting it on it was clear that it was not sized for even an average adult. My dad even took the opportunity to tactfully tell me how he thought I looked in it. The back section is very thin, and on it is printed the weight capacity "Minimum 90 lbs [, no maxiumum] -- I highly doubt this would do me much good in an emergency.
Use my experience as a size chart.
I am 5'8" - too tall; looks [not good].
I am 180 lbs - too heavy; not going to save me.
I wear shirts sized 15 1/2 32-33 - I could put this on, but it looked a little [not good].
I wear pants with waist 32 or 33 - use that how you will; I don't recommend beyond that.
Overall statement: Average (and larger) adults should refrain from purchasing this product unless they're not planning on actually wearing it.
