This is the best picture I got of it on I guess... Kind of hard to see but it fits snug. I wouldnt want bigger.

Mine feels a little big for the size. I wish I would've went a size down.

Id get the large man!!! My weight fluctuates between 190 and 210 depending on how much I go to the gym and the large has always fit. Plus the vest stretches.

Not CGA but realatively cheap for a SWAT and they float better than most non CGA I dislocated my shoulder last year and mine kept me a float while waiting for my friends to come help me...

Definitely go with the large. My buddy has an XL and it's too big for me. I'm 6-1, 205.

im 5'8 165 and the medium fits me dead on ..I like a tight vest though because when your in the water it loosens a bit and also do not like the roll up you get with side entrys if they are too loose..
