Protect the ocean so it can protect us
Our future is tied to the ocean. Its shared seas connect us through food, culture and sport. The home of amazing, abundant life, it’s also a powerful climate solution. Yet the practice of bottom trawling threatens to destroy this precious resource—bulldozing our ocean floor, undermining small-scale fisheries and deepening the climate crisis. Let's end this destructive practice, starting with an immediate ban in marine protected areas and inshore zones.

Some reviewers have questioned the sizing chart. I'm 5'11 180 with a normal-sized chest. For me the suggested large size works perfectly and this vest allows me to swim in cooler weather without dread. Love it!
Im 5ft 8in, 170, 30 in waist. All the cry babies complaining about the fit should probably just be honest with themselves and stop trying to put 3 pounds of sausage in a 2 lb wrapper, if you know what I mean. Eat better, and quit lying to yourself, only shape your in is round. Rocking this one over a year now and its the only suit Ill wear. 808 ree... Read Moref armor.
I followed the advice in a lot of the reviews and ordered a size up right before leaving for a trip. Unfortunately, the neck and shoulders are cut much larger than the chest and waist, so what would
be a good fit otherwise is floppy around the neck. Im 5 foot 9, 160 lbs. Too bad. The fabric is really nice.
Thank you for submitting this review, Rod. You're right that wetsuit pieces fit differently than many of our sportswear or performance wear garments, and many customers find it more comfortable to size up. However, the Yulex items do stretch with use, so they can fit better over time. Please feel free to reach out to us if we can answer any questions on sizing!

I ordered this vest initially
I ordered this vest initially in size M which would be consistent with everything I own. However, even recognizing that its item is meant to be tight, I had to return both a size M and a size L until an XL finally fit so that I could actually get it on and off somewhat comfortably. My dimensions are 5ft 7in, 157lb, 40 in chest, 32 in waist. Now, I ... Read Moream an old guy but I am thinking that even 20 year old surfers might might find the sizing on this vest a bit off.
The cut and materials of the vest are everything I have come to expect from Patagonia but, the little halyard that tethers is the drawstring pull around the waist isnt very well thought out. First, why should it be there at all? If you're not super gentle with it youll tear it right off the wetsuit, and the stretch nylon cord falls apart almos... Read Moret immediately. In my opinion it is totally unnecessary - extra material and extra work for no real reason. While Im on the topic, all over the world I am an XL. With O'Neil Im an XLT. But with you guys Im an XXL why? Other than that, good cut, good design and the people at Patagonia of course are great.

Too small, returned for XXL
The size chart needs to be revised as I fit the XL profile yet it was too small. Quality otherwise is fine.
