How much do you weigh and how tall are you? I ordered the XL too thinking that they ran small. I was about 195 and 6'1" and about a 35-36ish inseam, but lost some weight as of late. I think I should be good, I just want the Voo Doo one to fit. Wife says they look a little big though.

I ain't saying - but at 195/6'1" - you'd need a large Helium I think

Damn, Im about the same as you and I ordered 2 mediums. But according to the sizing chart it should fit me. Guess I'll find out when they arrive.

Got mine last Friday. I'm 6' 1" 225lbs. with 49" chest and the XL fits me pretty damn good! Once you wear them a few times and they get wet they stretch out a bit.
Got a lot of looks and questions from it Saturday at Body Beach. My friends started calling me "Risky"...lol

My XL showed up. It's just a little too big, so the L should be good. 5'10" 188 lbs.

Isn't the sizing on XL 40-44? I ordered a 2X cause I'm almost a 48". Hope its not too big.
You have me worried, I was hoping to use it next weekend, no time to order another.

I'm not too worried about it anymore because I think I can sell it pretty quick and not take too much of a hit, then go buy what I need. Besides, you never know when someone will be open to trades.
If it's too big, ain't nothin 500 tacos can't fix, lol.

I got the wrong size and sold it via Craigslist in less than a day for what I bought it for, guy asked me if I seriously only wanted $40 for it, he probably thought it was stolen lol.

FYI to those that are interested... I went out and tested my non-CGA Cascade vest today. I'm 6' and 165lbs. It sink lower in the water which would be nice in the summer when it's hot. However, I was expecting it to float me only a little less and that's not the case. With a full breath of air, I float at eye level vertically. If I take a deep breath and slowly exhale, I sink like a rock before I've even let all my air out. Looks like I just spent $45 on a vest to casually float around in the water with as I WON'T be using this for jetskiing. This vest doesn't offer any additional flexibility over my kayaking vest and offers a whole lot less buoyancy. Just thought I'd share...

Buyers beware
I called them a month ago or when ever this thread started asking them what size i should get if i want a 36-40. I dont remember what he told be but i know i hung up and ordered it online. A week later it comes and its a xl 40-44. Thinking they sent me the wrong thing i checked what i ordered. I ordered a xl. Maybe that guy told me to get a xl maybe i screwed up. Thinking it was still a good deal, i could use the new larger one for colder months over a wetsuit i figured id keep it get a second smaller 36-40 one. So i ordered a large this time. It comes in i pull it out and its a large 40-44. There sizes are f'ed up. So after $78 and $26 in shipping they are both going back. Good luck getting what you want.
