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.

Not at all. There are two clamps on the front lines of the vest that tighten it down, and the reflective belt fits snug up against your body, so no bounce. Just order your size based on your measurements.

Sorry I'm just now seeing this one but it is very very hard to remove weight from the vest. You will risk damaging the vest trying to remove them because the pockets are so tight. If you don plan on wearing 50 pounds I'd recommend a smaller size vest first. I ended up getting a 25 pound vest for most of my bodyweight training and once a month I put on this monster to challenge my strength gains.

I've found those fitting higher up on the "waist" are better. I tried several brands before I found one that worked. All of them seem to run small so I'm not surprised to hear you're having troubles with an extra small. Good luck.

Hi Michael Honestly, I didn't find this worked for me. It was not the first posture guide I have ever used, and hoped it would help, as it is different from others I had tried. I still found myself hunched over. It didn't take very long for me to get used to the feeling of the tugging and was not a problem for me. I got used to ite

I am in the same boat, no it is not uncomfortable. In fact it helps me keep my pants up! And after wearing it all day at a wedding (or all day at Disney Land with the kids) sometimes I forget that it is on when I get in the car to go home. Look awkward? I don't think so, but then I like the 'gun slinger' look =) if you wear a long coat you can't even tell you have it on. Its been the best photo strap I have ever owned. HIGHLY recommended.

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.

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.

A Kevlar duty vest insert will not fit properly on the inside....I have a duty vest also, the shoulders do not fit, I have tried many different ways and it just doesn't match up..However there is a lot of room for trauma plates. Front and back plates fit ok, side plates tend to shift a little ....This vest is ok for a Chinese knock off..Definitely some better quality vest out there on the market, but it's a good back up tactical vest...Also the vest sits a little low, leaving more of my upper chest area vulnerable?

Our dog was just under and the vest(small) was a tiny bit snug. Don't know what next size up would be but rather have it not slip. At 20# might try up a size. Good luck

I was happier with an XL size for just that reason. The caveat is that you may have to do what I did to keep the vest from riding up when inflated. I ran a small rope around the front flap of the vest like a belt to secure it around my middle. The secured the vest and made submergence much easier as I wasn't having to hold the vest down.

I had that problem until I adjusted the straps tighter. I was losing weight, so the protector was sliding down. I don't have that issue with the straps pulled in tighter. The interior is foam, so it is a little form fitting.

I had the same problem: but I kept working with it & finally it fit well.& now I still have problems-- sometimes the top or the back falls off,I just snap it back in, so yes, it does not fit very well, should have a betterfit - I think. thank you

I did not encounter this issue on my Canondale Synapse. What i DID however find and you should be aware of is that when "standing" and pedaling it interferes greatly by rubbing against your knees and just making it awkward. I took mine off since I do a lot of hilly rides.

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.
