Rated 4 out of 5

Close but not quite.

I would give it a 5 except it is still too long, the top of the chest hitting my chin occasionally. I am 5'6", 125 pounds. I paddle an ocean cockpit, low volume kayak. I bought a xs/m. If you could "v" the area between the two straps in the front, it would help.

Sleek, Low-Profile Comfort for All-Day Paddling
The NRS Ion PFD is a Type III life jacket designed for paddlers who want maximum comfort, ventilation, and mobility without compromising safety. As the thinnest PFD in the NRS lineup, it offers a low-profile fit that feels barely there, making it ideal for recreational kayaking, touring, or stand-up paddling. A zippered half-moon front pocket provides space for on-water essentials, while strap garages and 3M reflective accents keep your profile clean and visible in low-light conditions.

Flexible Fit, Minimal Bulk, and Sustainable Build
Built with the Orbit Fit System, the NRS Ion PFD uses layered, pre-curved panels of lightweight closed-cell foam that naturally conform to the body. Its Every Body Design and Graded Sizing system eliminate the need for gender-specific models and ensure optimal flotation for every body type. The side-entry design enhances flexibility by reducing bulk, while six adjustment points allow a precise fit. Made with a recycled ripstop nylon shell, AirMesh-lined interior, and PVC-free Ethafoam, this USCG-approved PFD is as sustainable as it is functional.
