Bought two of these jackets, a XXL and a XS. Build quality seems to be excellent. Fit is good for the XXL, and I am 6'3" and not the slimmest person in the world. Very good quality build. Pockets good. Reflectors good. I would actually say that the XS size is not actually small enough. My wife is 5' 9" ish and the shoulder straps push up a little over her shoulders and rubs her ears a little when sitting in the kayak, so worth a double check on the smaller sizes if possible. But we are both very happy with the kit, and would recommend. IF we were unlucky enough to get into trouble, I feel that these PFDs would do the job that they need to.
