Did anyone have problems with the vest 'ridding" up!? Sliding up into your face and being uncomfortable??? Thanks

I didn't experience that but I did wear it rather snugly. I liked that it was shorter than traditional ones and I used it while sailing in a small nutshell dinghy. But I will be using it with my kayak and may experience that too.

The vest does ride a little high, but not uncomfortably high. I did an 8 mile, and a 10 mile ride, and I almost forget that it's there. It never chafed (for me - I guess every body is different,) and it stayed out of my way.

I normally use the vest standing up fishing (OK) - if belts are loosened sitting down then ride some ride up is to be expected. I'm 5'10 205 lbs.

I never had a problem with mine, I liked it from Day 1. If you don't like it now, I'm assuming you won't like it any better next week unless you just get used to whatever feels uncomfortable to you.

So sorry, I wish I could help, but I didn't have that issue. Mine stayed on very snug. It didn't help much, but it did stay on tightly...under my tights and over top of them as well sometimes.

Tighten the vest over whatever clothes you will be wearing, . Mine works very well.

No you adjust the side of the vest to make it smaller. Or bigger it fit you . It great you need to get one I love my vest

Hi Kim, I had problems with the leg sensor only one time and it was so frustrating. I came to the conclusion that this one frustrating time was due to actual skin contact, rather than a thin layer of yoga pant that I usually wear during other workouts with no difficulty. Unfortunately that means no short shorts for me or you if this fixes the problem. Lol hope this helps.

Yeah that was the same for me. I used it for 2 plus weeks to get used to it but it never happened. I did return it and im still working on finding one that works for me. Hope this helps. Take care

Hi...Sorry for delay. You know I laughed when I read this question because I'm crazy and never actually tried it on without the weights in it. Anyhoo I just took it hiking a few weeks ago and it's super comfortable and easy to put on and take off. Best wishes!

Mine is a little loose & it works fine for me. I have more energy since wearing it.

Don't try it. I wore it most of yesterday. By the time I was getting ready for bed I was irritated by having it on. My skin is a little sensitive and it's pretty uncomfortable laying down with it on, especially if you toss and turn like I do.

I sit most days at work as well as drive while wearing it. You do wear it low, but I haven't had a problem with it slipping up. I wear it under my clothes, not over. If I wear it over my clothes, I found it slipped more easily. You might try watching a Youtube video to be sure you are placing it correctly around your back.

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.

You might need someone else to help with this. While you have it on have someone push one of the shoulder straps in towards the front of the vest. Once it is at the desired height close the velcro on that strap. Repeat for the other strap. Make sure you have the Velcro on the shoulders open before you push the straps in.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps

Jack makes a good point. When I started using mine I kind of had to find the feel for it and pushing your weight forward on the waist pad (while keeping your back straight) helps a little too. It's kind of like moonwalking in place hence his tip on not picking your foot up, just the heel.

I haven't had that problem. Are you pushing hard when you roll, or just letting it "glide" over your skin?

I really like the fit and feel of my Shock Doctor, however, I must agree with the other comments. It seems to me it would be pushed upward uncomfortably in your lower crouch by the bicycle seat.
