O'Neill Mens Outlaw Comp Vest

I have been water skiing for many years both competitively and now recreationally. This is the most comfortable jacket I’ve every owned. Very light weight but plenty of buoyancy for me. Appears well made and O’Neill generally makes quality products. Take the time to measure your chest and use the chart and the size will be fine. One last thing....the pic of the black/blue shows the O’Neill lettering and logo in blue. They aren’t. They are white. The blue is the inside color of the jacket.

The size suggestions are pretty close to correct when the vest is dry. In fact, if I went down one more size not sure I could zip it up.......until it's wet. Once it's wet, I could definitely go down one more size. Not sure how to address the sizing.I think it has plenty of flotation. I am 5'9", 195lbs, athletic build (kind of) and it easily keeps me above water. I went with an XL per sizing chart. Seems well constructed.

Freakin awesome looking and comfortable vest. It does run on the small side...I’m 5 6”, with a 42 inch chest, fairly broad shoulders for my size, and weigh 185; I needed and XL. I initially ordered a large, but it was super tight and couldn’t zip up.

Love this vest. I’m told it’s no longer acceptable or legal to wear, even having alternative options in the boat. Don’t care. Hate USCG APPROVED bulky vests. This looks and feels awesome while running a course. Best vest for slalom competition.

very nice full torso protection! much better protection than the mountain bike armor I've tried. I wish the material wasn't so sticky since I wear it under jackets while skiing and the material makes it harder to put them on.

This vest fit poorly. When returning the vest, I had to pay $22 in shipping at UPS drop off store.

Work's great runs a little bit small

The zipper has not worked since the day I bought it, very disappointing
