Im 6'4 230 and currently have a jet pilot core s/e uscg model neo. Well the padding in the back is loose and bunches up at the bottom. Well this is the 3rd one that has done this and I do not want another one.

im not as tall as you im about 6'1 210 and wear the o'neal vapor which is now the checkmate it is a great vest when wet dont try to use it with out wetting it. it is NON-coastguard approved. i bet if you get the XXL or maybe XXXL(if they make it)you will be happy

p.s. it has a lifetime warranty

I find it ironic that non CGA vests have a lifetime warranty. Ha ha

some of the CWB vests look long though.

6'3" used to wear the helium swat but this season started riding the oneil checkmate and it is awesome... way longer than the swat so it doesnt look like your wearing a belly shirt like other life jackets do on us tall guys

super light and comfy go with the checkmate... make sure you get it big enough I have the XL and it fits well but im only 180 so if you have a bigger chest go with atleast the xxl

I am 6'3" and all the Helium stuff is plenty long to cover me.
