Good price
July 22, 2016
For the price it's great, nice design, fits well and very secure. It does come up small, I'm a 2-4 (xs-s) but ordered a medium. I could have gotten away with a large size. I've not tested it yet, but I'm hopeful I won't drown...!
Order a size or 3 up
June 21, 2016
Great life jacket, but it's TINY!!!! I have 34 DDD boobs, but typically wear an xs, maybe a S shirt at the largest, and I ordered a large. It's still really small. I can't get the adjustable part to bring the two sides together (it snaps just fine, it just has a large gap).

November 3, 2015
This was purchased for my girlfriend and it fit her great. She bought the XLarge judging through other reviews from women who were 5'6 and around 140-150 and that fit. We used this for our adventures and even snorkeling eve though it kind of keeps you upright you learn how to make it work.
... the Medium O'Neill Vest today and the quality is great but it was too small
July 8, 2015
I got the Medium O'Neill Vest today and the quality is great but it was too small. I am reordering the next size up (Large) and hoping it fits. I usually wear a small in women's..I am 5'2" and 128 pounds, 34D..I couldn't close this vest! I will update this review once I get the new size. Amazon customer service made the exchange easy.
Nice summer fun jacket
May 20, 2015
Another nice jacket from Oneil but the one I got was labeled wrong. This "women's" jacket wouldn't fit a 6 yr old. It went back for larger size

these are great to havewe had very old pfds and so we ordered several of these and they are perfect for us and our guestsgood adjustments and well made
Good and safe purchase!
September 1, 2017
Got it at a great price- just as a safety precaution for a larger 7 year old- and this fit him great- kept his head out of water- very safe! Does ride up a little- but that's likely because he's not adult height. Should fit standard adult well.
Great average size to small adult life jacket.
August 29, 2017
I ordered the same size for my husband and I and we are close in size. He's 5'8" and 170lbs and I'm 5'6" and about 140 for us both nicely. However my mother also used it and she is quite a big bigger and it seemed quite small on her. We live in SK and heRe you are required to wear life jackets at the water park these were the right price and perfect to meet the requirement.
Not as easy to spot as the orange ones
August 3, 2017
I haven't tested to see if this thing will save my life or not. I do float when wearing it, so that's a good sign. In hindsight, I should have gotten the orange colored one, they are easier to spot off in the distance than the purple ones... Maybe I'll spray paint it orange!
Fits perfectly and quite comfortable
June 27, 2017
Fits perfectly and is quite comfortable. I had to loosen the straps a bit to fit me well. I haven't fallen in the water yet, so can't comment on its functionality yet.
had fun on the lake with ease of mind
February 20, 2017
I'm a 260 woman usually wear a size 2x in shirts and it fit me perfectly, it can be extended bigger. After much researching I decided on this life vest, held me up quiet well in water and used in a small rowing boat, had fun on the lake with ease of mind!

Size runs small...
October 11, 2016
The only reason I give this a star is because it is not an adult large. More like a medium.
... had to buy a bigger size but its a nice life vest
July 29, 2016
we had to buy a bigger size but its a nice life vest. just fits small in my opinion.
This should be a 5 star vest
July 20, 2015
O'Neil Women's Superlite is a wonderful vest that my 105 lb. 17 yr old Twin Grand Daughters love. I AM GLAD I READ THE REVIEWS. I actually purchased this vest in a MEDIUM WOMEN'S size and it fits them perfectly. Go ahead and buy this vest, BUT GO UP A SIZE. It would be 5 star except for the size problem.

June 19, 2015
I bought this for my daughters (age 8 & 11) in size small after reading reviews about how it ran small. My 11 yr old is about 4'-6" tall (short for her age) and very thin, the small fits great. My 8 yr old is about 4'-3" (tall for her age) thin and the small fits great when straps are tightened, with some room to grow. I bought the large for myself. I'm 5'-3", 118lbs and the large fits great. I put the small on just as a comparison and could barely buckle the top (I'm not big up top). A medium may have worked too, but the large is very comfortable.
It fits him fine. It fits me too

Great for the price
May 21, 2017
It's a great for the price. I took it out in Huntsville State Park where the water was very calm. I'm not an expert kayaker, I've only been on calm water and this was a great alternative to having to rent one. I'd read reviews about the paddle not being great but for my level it worked fine.
The aldult size fits well for female only
May 10, 2017
4 stars because it only fits female or very tiny guys. For male even the oversize doesnt fit either. Anyhow, the vest is very nice and durable. the color is bright and look pretty much the same as the photo.
Good fitting vest
April 30, 2017
Fit great and wasnt too heavy or bulky feeling. I do not like the way the back of the vest sits pretty high or isnt long enough but it was still comfortable and probably would have worked very well...if I ever fell in.

Fits me!!! I am 315 with a 46 waist and 50 jacket size. Haven't tried buoancy yet. Won't unless my boat sinks.
fits a 250 lb female
April 22, 2013
Great price. Fit a larger sized chest female with more slack that could have been let out. Didn't have to actually rely on it but wore on a air boat. Was not too uncomfortable. It didn't stay up around my neck like some others do such as the ones that only fit around your neck. All in all a good buy.

Much smaller than anticipated.... I'm a petite woman 5'2 with a 31in. band and this is a tight fit. Works perfectly for my 12 year niece, but I should have ordered a medium.

February 14, 2015
A bit too small for my wife, and she normally wears small. I think this was designed for a small teenager.
Way too small
June 30, 2013
I read the reviews and thought "I'll just order the next size up". Didn't work. I wear a small to extra small in women's generally (size 34A and 2-4 pants) so I ordered a medium. When it arrived I tried it on and it was way too small. I love the way it looks so I returned it and I will be ordering a large. You can always tighten it up, but you can't add to it. I would suggest this is a youth item for sizing not a womens.
Sizing is not true to size
August 9, 2010
I am 5'2" tall at 115 pounds. I generally wear a small in everything. Unfortunately, this vest was way TOO small for me and I had to return it at my cost of $10. This product should have stated more specific sizing in the description such as height, weight, and chest size. Had the vest fit me, I most likely would have enjoyed wearing it.

This is a nice jacket with the exception that these jackets are very small. I ordered mediums (my last life jackets were small) just in case they ran a little small. I can barely fasten this jacket, my breathing feels somewhat restricted.
Runs VERY small
August 14, 2015
This jacket runs extremely small! I ordered a large thinking it would possibly be big, but I can barely buckle it! I'm 5'6" 150 with a 34D chest and I'm hoping the XL will fit! Will edit review when it arrives.

Bulky block type, not smooth
October 23, 2017
Meh. I thought it would fit better and not have bulky blocks in it. I was wrong.
Disappointed
September 18, 2017
I am sending this back. It looks good and quality seems good but the clasps are so hard to open. I even got my finger stuck and severely pinched trying to open it while testing it. Disappointed.

A bit of a disappointment as I was looking for a life jacket to fit a large person. Not an easy task..
it pulled up on me and felt like it was going to come off
April 1, 2016
Too short (I'm only 5'1") When I got in the water, it pulled up on me and felt like it was going to come off. Poor quality.

Horrible - Filled with Water and Acted Like Weight rather than Float
September 3, 2014
Life Vest filled with water (between the lining and float material) and made it difficult for my child to get out of the water by herself. It acted like a weight rather than a life vest. When she took it off it felt so heavy and retained the water. The vest I was sent was obviously defective and extremely unsafe. It also ran so small that my daughter who is a size 0 could barely get the vest on.
WAY TO SMALL
February 24, 2014
What a disappointment, This supposed to be an extra large??? NOT EVEN CLOSE! It may fit a 10 year old girl.

This vest is not for big people. It would not fit me and I am 6' 240 pounds. It did fit my wife she wears a woman's med T-shirt. I was very disappointed.
Wrong measurements
April 20, 2016
Measurements they advertise is completely wrong. Universal jacket only fits children or small adults. If you're normal size go with the oversized. My girl have a normal skinny body with 34DD boobs and she can't fit into this universal. Stearns need to post the measurements right.
