BRAD D This is an excellent vest. It was exactly what my daughter wanted. She is 22 and fairly small and slim. She wanted a vest that wasn't very long, and was made of nylon. She does not like neoprene so I thought I would try this one. She loves it and we were finally able to toss out the 10 year old mildew vest she had been wearing (that is how little she has changed since 8th grade). It is holding strong and still looks brand new after a season and 1/2 of skiing, tubing, swimming and hard use in the sun. I will buy from this vendor and this site again.
