will this fit a 130-150lb adult about 5'3"tall? Once in the water, does jacket ride upward so much that it is impossible to swim &play or suffocating?

I'm 5'4" 106 lbs and the small fit just fine with a LOT of room to adjust...the jacket rides up a bit in the water but it's not uncomfortable, I wore this on a few snorkelling trips and I had no complaints.

I can only say that as a 180 pounds 5 foot 11 person it fit me just fine....good luck.

The jacket is highly adjustable. That said, it should adjust that much, I am 5'7" and weigh 210 Lb. I think that the adjustment is there. As for how the jacket reacts in the water I really can't say as I haven't been in the water with it on. I use it on my boat and thankfully haven't had to test that feature. I would think, for me, it would preform well as the fit is good. I can say that for a life vest it is fairly comfortable to wear.

I'd say so for an avg. sized person. I ordered it for my son and he is 15 but is 5'10 and 150 lbs and he doesn't max it out. Hope that helps.

I was able to fit 2 adults who are both 5'6" and a 3 year on it with no problem. Hope this helps!

My daughter used it with her son and she said it was the best life jacket she has ever used. The other he kept slipping out of. As for floating on the back I don't know. It defiantly kept his face out of the water.

It will definitely keep the person afloat but not sure about putting it around the waist. I'd ensure I had an approved life jacket for that.

It is sized for adults. However, it is not an approved life saving device. If you can't swim at all I think you'd be better off with a life vest.

It might be a little big. I used it for mine that was about that weight. It slid down when she was not completely in the water. But when she was completely in the water and swimming around, it worked well and it gave her confidence to swim. She used it last year when she was just 20-21 lbs. She is now about 30lbs and used it this past month on vacation too. Great product. She jumps right not the water on her own when wearing it.

I don't know. I am 190 and it's fine with me. Being in the water I don't think we weigh as much and when you put your arms out to the side I think it will also help you float. I would give it a try.

My 3 1/2 yr old is 42 inches tall and it fits her well. I think as long as their back is as long as the pack (14in) and they can carry the weight (13oz for the pack, and 3.25lbs for 50oz of water) then age is not a factor.

Medium might be a little big on him. I think it starts at 33 lbs. Please be aware, this is not a flotation device. My son wore his and he went straight under water. We got rid of it. I think it's more for kids who can already swim.

Please help me with the size issue? my 8 yr old is 120 lbs at about 52 inches with a big belly. He loves the water, he's autistic and intellectually challenged and incontinent. We spend a lot of time in indoor pool all winter, sometimes the water is cold for him after being in the pool for a couple hours. I looking for something warm and comfortable. Than you, Aiden's dad

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.

Yow! That could be coooold! I would maybe look at a 4 or 5 mm thickness suit, that said, this is so cheap and if you get it on prime with free returns... Anyway, I'd guess Medium so you're not wrestling too much to get it on. It does need to be fairly tight and in contact with the skin to work properly, mine has a spot in the small of my back that doesn't contact so it makes a cold spot, which seems to be typical of low-cost wetsuits, but at this price I can't complain too much.

My husband is 6'1, 200 pounds and it fits over his leg fine. You want it snug so water doesn't get in...we actually use a rubber band at top for extra protection.

I am 140ish pounds and 69 inches tall, and a Medium was a little snug. The problem I had with this wet suit was the neck was TOO tight, but I am a scuba diver, not a surfer. I would recommend that you use a bath towel rolled up and stuffed into the neck to stretch it some.

As long as you're moving, much like any jacket. I rode just today while wearing it and it was 81 degrees and humid, but I was comfortable in the wind. With the liner out and the pockets and vents unzipped the air passes around you nicely, and that was riding two-up and still didn't have any problems staying comfortable.

Hi! My husband is 6'3" and over 200lbs. He works out too and he has plenty of room everywhere. The clothing is made to add warmer clothing underneath, however he says the suit itself is really warm. So you know, there's no hood, but he wears his helmet and that works just fine.
