This is my second purchase of the same vest. I got hundreds of dives on the first before it started to fray. Remained decent insulation throughout. I layered it under a 3 mm (very old and thin) suit. Recommend using a rash guard underneath -- easier to slip on and off.

I dive regularly in tropical 80-82 degree F water. I wear this vest with board shorts on every dive. I start the dives without the hood. If I get chilly toward the end of the dive, I pull the hood up. The vest shows little wear after months of constant use. I agree the length is a mite short, but it's a minor gripe. The quality, good design, and clean look make this vest a winner. When the water gets into the 70s this winter, I'll switch to my Waterproof 3.5mm full suit, which is another great product. I'm 5'10", 42" chest, 195 lbs. with a biggish head, and a Large is a perfect/snug fit. If you're bigger than that I think you'd want a larger size. If you're just a bit smaller than that, I think the Large would still fit well.

Very warm and comfortable, however I'm tall (1.85) and the length of the vest is barely enough
