User questions & answers

Question:	Where is the size chart for this (usually it’s underneath the item sizes available in blue lettering you simply click on to view
Answer:	There were no tools provided with the vest I received. I didn't expect tools. I assumed the tools shown were illustrations of how one might use the various compartments.
Question:	Old town. why are these made in china. the mark up must be tremendous as chinese dont earn much. must be all about $$$$$$$. where is your patriotism
Answer:	I'm 5'8" about 180 I have a large, It fit fine so I would go with the large
Question:	Will you have this in grey in l/xl anytime soon
Answer:	I am 5'0 with 34D bust, 118 lbs. I ordered a small for kayaking and love it, it fits perfect! Love it!
Question:	Is there a sizing chart available for the old town pfds
Answer:	I have used this for stand up paddle boarding. It's quite comfortable when paddling, but I have found that it makes getting on the paddle board from deep water slightly more challenging because it is a little bit bulker in the front and requires you to have slightly more arm strength than slimmer life vests. Given that, I still can get up on the board it just takes a bit more effort my daughter on the other hand is slimmer and doesn't seem to have as much difficulty getting back on the board.
