## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm confused: are the "one size" and the "universal" the same size? If not, which is the larger? I'm 5'2" and weigh 160.**
A: What chest sizes for regular and oversized?
Answer: The universal fits a chest size of 30"-52", and the oversize fits a chest size of 40"-60". 
By Kirsten M. on October 2, 2017

**Q: What chest sizes for regular and oversized?**
A: The claimed chest size for the regular is 30-52.  In reality it doesn't fit right with a chest size smaller than 44, it will be much too thick and bulky.

**Q: Is this safe to use for other water sports like;  boating, swimming, tubing, surfing in addition to Paddle boarding?**
A: It is very buoyant. I have only used it for kayaking, but it should work fine for any water sports. The only difference from a regular life vest is that the bottom 4-5 inches on the back are mesh, not padded, making it more comfortable for kayakers.

**Q: the sizing is confusing. universal seems out of stock? what is oversize? need large.**
A: This oversize is large or close to xl. They fit fairly snug. Unless you are quite small, this will fit most adults.
