got mine today! the material is sick on the riscky. its like wearing a bathrobe and the length is perfect.
 
I might order another one.. the risky probably. Im 15 and still growing and ordered a large for me to grow into, and it fits decent right now, but a medium would be great for the time being.
 
Well another one was just ordered. No shipping charged on this one whoop. So customer service isnt to bad. Gonna send the other one back I think and they will credit my card back.

well im 5'11'' 185 and the large fits good without wetsuit and perfectly snug with wetsuit. you can barely tell its a life vest!!!. pretty rediculous and bright.

yeah my large van helium just came in size was 40-44 inch for the large.

i previously had a 36-40 which was tight without the straps this one needs the straps to fit me snug but will work and will be better over a wet suit.
 
I got the XL in Risky Bussiness and the Voodoo. Here's keeping my fingers crossed. I'm about 6'1 and 190. My chest is about 42-43ish. My Stearns V flex large is just a bit big for me, but the Helium has a different size chart from what I read.

hmmm i got a cascade in large and it says 38-40 chest size for a large.

I can say I have been knocked unconcious before while riding, it was a bad accident while i was new to standups, luckily I was able to pull myself up in the tray before I went out. I was wearing an approved lifejacket though so I wonder what would happen if I didnt pull myself in the tray and was wearing one of these? probably not pretty.

i am well aware that it isnt cg approved. and as far as being knocked unconcious even with a cg life vest you are likely to drown due to your weight naturally going forward. i can what if all day but if you get knocked out and your peeps you ride with dont go help you then maybe you should get new friends. i can also wrap myself in memory foam so i dont get bruises too i guess =)

p.s. i just got it to look buff on the beach cuz my ski runs great on the trailer hahahahahah
 
just got mine in today.. im 6 ft 190lb...orderd a XL, and feel like it may be a bit to big.havent decided if im gonna send it back.. i know it gets a lil bigger when wet and i will prob loose like 10lbs once the season starts ( 2 weeks, cant wait) so ill prob send it back.. would suck to get the large and find out that it is to small though...love the jacket though
 
If my XL voodoo and risky don't fit I'm just gonna use 2 part foam to make up the difference.:lmao:
