To the ladies on the forum or any of the other half's wearing, and liking?

Wife is on the petite side, looking for a new vest. Only sticking to a cga style, no comp vest.

Just seeing what others have liked?

Just a word of caution, last summer we fitted our daughter with a new vest... We had to shop around quite a bit and try on lots before she found one with a good fit. Unless you're buying an adult universal, good fit could be a a strong personal preference. I'll see if I can find what we ended up with.

A lot of it depends on the shape of the woman. My wife wears a medium and is shorter waisted with some curves. She got the ronix daydream

Ya that's the tough part, I know jackets are hard to buy online...and they fit everyone slightly different. Unfortunately not a lot of shopping options real local. Just wanted to see what some people have been liking.

Too many body type variables. We wanted to order one online as well. Once she tried them on in the store, we knew it would be next to impossible as they all fit differently.

If nothing is close, I think amazon sells the major brands vest, and they have a pretty good return policy.

I believe she ended on the Hyperlite Ambition

It seems like, as a boat, we have always leaned towards the Hyperlite jackets.

We just bought 3 of these at the boat show and my wife loved how these fit...if you read the description they are cut a little longer. They are very similar to a comp vest, but are CGA.

Evo has a great return policy. Order the 2 or 3 that you think might be the best bet for her and return the ones you don't like. Might cost a couple bucks in return shipping, but that's less than the gas you'd spend going to anyplace local.
