I'd go with the 2xl, it will be big enough and you'll be able to wear a sweater or jacket under it without losing comfort if needed.

Their sizing chart shows two sizes for a 50" chest size, either XL or 2XL. The safe and comfortable size might be 2XL. If not you can always send it back. I hope this helps you.

Sorry, but I can't be sure. My thought is to go to a good sporting good store and try some on for size. Stearns is sold by many dealers. Best of luck.

I would go for the 2X or 3X but seriously, when buying a life vest you are WAY BETTER OFF going to a marine store and trying one on than trying to guess the size online. I have a 36" chest and wear a size 6 pants and the small size BARELY fits me, so when they say a small fits up to a 38" chest it isn't true. I should have bought a medium.

Patricia,I bought this vest to Kayak in and I got an X-L and have a 48" and weigh 220 lbs and some room for it to expand. Hopefully that helps

2500 or smaller is excellent for light tackle. I wouldn't get any size higher.

Recommended is no bigger than a 46". Although I have a 50" on mine and does well. 30lbs max

The medium chest protector will be a perfect size for you. I am 6'0" and I ordered the medium because I didn't want the additional length to get in the way when I crouch behind the plate. I am extremely happy with my gear. Enjoy!

My dog is a hound and 50lbs, very lean with a broad chest and I got him a large and adjusted the straps accordingly. I believe they had a sizing chart on the site

First I would have recommended a higher drag weight on the reel. It sounds like you want heavy fish, so I would go with the 300 yds. You also may want to consider going to 50 lb. line, between your rod and the drag you can handle some pretty large fish with this set up. Remember to balance you drag with the weight recommendation of the rod builder.

jguitar answer sounds about right. As a comparison, the Oneill larges fit tight like a wetsuit (correctly) on guys with larger measurements, ie 46-48 jacket (chest) size. I was going to say a medium would be the largest you would go with a 36" chest, but for a snugger fit a small sounds good.

Chest size is up to 52". I am 6'4" 325lb and it fits me. I question if the 24 gram Co2 is enough to hold me up. There is also 30 & 38 gram out there so I assume that is more bouyant. Anybody know about this?

you have to go by the chest measurement - that is how the company sizes, and then add 1". Use that size.My husband was a 43", so we bought 44. The shoulders are a bit tight when reaching forward. It is a bit of a baggy fit.

A large would probably be your best fit. However, Go to a local dive shop and try on a couple. That will give you an idea of what you will need. It can be a crappy thing to do to a small business owner so I always try to buy something I need for my gear bag. Just for letting me try one on.

I am a large guy 44 - 46 chest and the strap that was supplied still fits . It is a "M' for medium.

Depending on the line wieght and tackle you use you should be able to land a fish up to 30lbs or more however that will be quite a accomplishment. No doubt if you keep trying you will land the big one so good luck and happy fishing.

I have a 48" chest and it fits mine with room to spare. The Tickr fits below your pecs.

My successful experience was to get an XL for fit and comfort and then use a cord belt to secure the vest around my waist to prevent it from riding up when I dived. That worked best for me. Good luck and enjoy.

For me? ABF-90 is perfect for deep sea fishing. Most of my catch over 30lb and up, Cobia, Bull Red, Black drum, Black grouper, King Mac. Never have any problem with it. Just taking good care of it after the end each trip. Like; wash the salt water off and oil it
