Keeps you warm, tight in the chest if you are busty...
By Sunita P. from Hilo, HI on 1/17/2021
Fit: TOOSMALL
I'm a 36 D and bought this in a medium size. It fits fine through the waist but is very tight in the chest. Perhaps size up if you are busty.

Runs V-E-R-Y small
By Ubcool2 from Princeville HI on 12/21/2020
Fit: TOOSMALL
I was hoping this would fit, and even sized up, but it was so tight across the chest I could hardly breathe, let alone move! Sorry, had to return.

Fit: TOOSMALL
Really disappointed after reading reviews on this site and not realizing how small this runs. Otherwise it's nice quality and sorry I had to return, especially since I couldn't find anything similar to exchange it for.

Great for cold weather swimming
By h20baby from GROSSE POINTE, MI on 9/23/2020
Fit: TOOSMALL
I bought this to swim when it is 50 degrees out, but the water temp is warm. I followed the advice of other buyers and ordered a larger size than normal. With the four way stretch, it is tight but comfortable. I love it and will use it for aquasize also where I almost never warm up when it is 75 degrees or below.

Great fit for movement
By Trekkingirl from Santa Fe, NM on 9/22/2020
Fit: TRUE
I returned a few neoprene jackets before I got the Xcel Ocean Ramsey. This is a well made jacket that fits perfectly for warmth and movement. After reading all the reviews, I went up two sizes from my dress/shirt size for the right fit. Highly recommend. And Swim Outlet shipped my jacket promptly with tracking info. Thanks Swim Outlet!

I really like the look. I still don’t know whether it will keep me warm as I haven’t used it. It’s a little tight but I can get it zipped up. I just hope it doesn’t hinder my movement

Nice long arms
By Sabine from Cardiff by the Sea on 7/30/2020
Fit: NA
I’m 5’8 with a longer torso and arms, smaller breasts. Got size 6.
The fabric has a soft, stretchy feel. Arms are plenty long. Though had trouble zipping it up. The chest area was too tight to breathe. Will need to get size 8. Recommend to go up one size. Got this for open water swimming in southern Cali. The 1mm body and 1/2mm arms seem right. Though have not had the actual experience with wetsuit jacket yet.

Awesome vest
By Amity from New York, NY on 7/30/2020
Fit: TRUE
If you wish there were a sleeveless zip-up jacket to cover up your bathing suit while you are en route to the beach, hiking, etc, this is perfect. I have it in every style and color made by Carve Designs. They are meant to fit snugly, since it is designed as a surfing rash guard. Thus, I went one size up since I'm wearing it as a jacket (usually a medium and wear this in large). You can go swimming in it or wear it as a cover up when it's hot (I.e., over bikini top with skirt to go shopping). Love it.

Fit
By Robyn from Long beach ny on 7/28/2020
Fit: NA
I am extremely thin at 5’6” and about 100 lbs. I’m usually a size 2 or 4. I 1st ordered size 6 and couldn’t get it on. Then ordered size 12. Still too small I kept it but it’s a workout getting it on and especially off. It shouldn’t take 8 minutes to get off sizing all wrong. Feel like I could use men’s s or nef

Exactly what I need for paddling
By Shellshell paddles from Seattle on 7/21/2020
Fit: NA
I bought this to use for SUP. I like to go early in the morning & it’s still a bit too chilly. I worry less about falling into 55 degree water knowing the jacket will keep me warmer than with swimsuit.
Also great to wear boating - it’s wind proof, water proof & hood cinches well to the head

This really cuts some chill from cooler water
By Grandma Sue from Fairfield, OH on 6/28/2020
Fit: TOOSMALL
Helps take the chill off the lap pool.
Ordered a size larger then my usual size. Although fitting snugly keeps the same water that has been warmed by your body in place, my regular size needs to stretch too much.
After a lot of exercise or swimming, the underarm are chaffs a bit.
This is my third Carve Designs Duckdive vest.

happy with this purchase
By Lucy from Annapolis, MD on 6/20/2020
Fit: TRUE
The fit is a little odd, i.e. a little long for my short torso, but it works just fine. I had to return for a size 12 (other sizes I ordered were 10) due to the very tight fit. It keeps me warm in my daughter's cold pool, so I am satisfied with the product.

Snug and comfy
By Cheri from North Idaho on 6/18/2020
Fit: NA
I wear this for swimming in a cold lake. It was perfect. Very comfortable, easy movement, nice and warm.
I'm so glad I read the other reviews about size - it definitely runs a little small. I usually wear size small [OPENBRK]4/6[CLOSEBRK] tops [OPENBRK]32 B/C[CLOSEBRK], but ordered a size 8 and it fits great. I don't think I would have been able to zip up anything smaller.

Sleek lightweight and warm
By POD from Palm Springs, CA on 3/8/2020
Fit: TRUE
I picked a size that was true to my height and weight . At first I thought it was going to be too small as the gap between the zipper seemed quite big. But the jacket is super stretchy and when pulled tight it zipped right up. It is lightweight so best for warmer water, I wear mine in a fairly warm salt water pool (80’s) . I swim at night and in winter, I am very petite so the shoulders and waist on this particular design are perfect for me. It moves easily while swimmingI love this jacket and it’s quite sexy, too!

Great swim jacket
By Roseanna from Santa Rosa on 2/28/2020
Fit: TRUE
I have used this "peeky front zip" for many years....I swim 3 - 4 times a week, and wearing this in the cooler months helps me alot. I make my modifications to make it easier to get on and off, by cutting the sleeves about an inch above the elbow. This way also makes it a bit easier to swim with. Yes, after 2 years it stretches out and fades due to the chlorine in the pool but I am fine with that....

Comfortable!
By Mdb323 from Nebraska on 1/21/2020

I bought this shirt to wear while snorkeling. I needed to size up from what I expected, but the larger size fit great. I love the full-length zipper-it made it much easier to take on/off when damp. It kept me warm and I love the look of it!

Runs small
By Southern Diver from Summertown, TN on 1/4/2020
Fit: TOOSMALL
I’ve gotten several Roxy neoprene hoodies, and the color-blocked style in a size 8 fits perfectly. For some reason, this floral print had a slightly slimmer fit. I exchanged it for a size 10, which is a bit long, but roomy enough to fit over my wetsuit.

Excellent product, sizing runs small
By Bob from Chicago on 12/25/2019
Fit: TOOSMALL
The wetsuit top is terrific matieral and expertly constructed, but be warned: it does run smaller than you'd think, even with the elasticity of the material. Be confident in ordering a full size larger than expected.

Love this Suit!
By Cynbar from Milwaukee WI on 7/24/2019

I am a fan of this wet suit. I swim in a chilly lap pool and it keeps me warm, no matter what the day. It does require some specific cleaning to keep the material resilient, but it is well worth the effort.

Beautiful and functional
By Wendy from Bel Air, Maryland on 7/12/2019
Fit: TOOSMALL
I bought this vest for teaching swim lessons where I am in the pool for 3 hours straight. I love the design and fabric. It keeps me warm and the sun off. I would like to see a cap sleeve version too for more sun protection. When swimming around in it, my arm started to get sore under the arm, but not too bad. I ordered a large and I am glad I did, even though I can often wear a medium. Great product. I may buy the long sleeve product.

Not for long arms
By Kath from Madison, WI on 3/11/2019
Fit: TOOSMALL
A response to a customer question mentioned that the model is 5’11” so being barely 5’8” I assumed the arms would be long enough. I was very disappointed the arms were at least 2” too short! That’s a lot! Also it was bunched up at the arm pits so maybe it’s for a larger busted woman. I’m 34B.

Great Layer for Scuba Diving
By suz from san francisco on 3/4/2019
Fit: TRUE
I used this to layer with a 2.5 mm short wetsuit scuba diving in Maldlives (water temp 28 degrees C). I know that sounds crazy but I get cold easy especially when I am in the water over 30 minutes. This did the job great. There is relatively good range of motion in the arms but I am not sure whether there would be enough surfing or other activities. I love that it zips completely top to bottom making it easy to put on and take off. not too much of a hassle to put on when it's wet either.
I am 33 bust size b cup waist 27 inches

Great Item
By Swimdog from Orlando, FLORIDA on 12/22/2018
Fit: TRUE
I bought this wetsuit jacket after buying one that pulls over the head. The zip jacket is wonderful. Since wetsuits need to be body comforming and tight to keep you warm this zip one is much easier to put on and take off. I bought the 8 and it works great as I am about 5’4 and 125. I use it to swim in an outdoor pool laps in the winter in Florida. Although the water is heated, the air is (outside temp of 45-70) cold (for Florida) and it keeps your upper body warm and you still have the mobility to swim effectively. I swim a mile of freestyle and have NO problems. If you do water excercises this would work great as well. It is tight but once you start the zipper at the bottom it zips up and conforms to your body and fits well over an Uglies Training bathing suit. The delivery was great as well. I hope this recommendation and rating meets with your expectations if you purchase this wetsuit JACKET. Merry Christmas!

I love my new wetsuit jacket!
By dlswimmer from Centennial, CO on 11/2/2018
Fit: TRUE
I use it for water aerobics classes several times a week. Following the size guide for chest and hips, I purchased a 14. When the jacket arrived it appeared 2 sizes too small, but after trying it on, it fit perfectly and does not ride up once in the water. The tight fit also prevents water entering the sleeves and neck - unlike other jackets I've owned. Another great product from Swimoutlet!

What is wrong with this item?
By Kgould from Annandale NY on 11/6/2017
Fit: TOOSMALL
It seemed possible when I put it on at home so I wore it to swim. The bottom rode up to expose my belly and lower back. The material bunched on my shoulders making a thick layer. The zipper came up around my cheeks and throat. How can you swim without raising your arms? But clearly raising my arms pulls the whole jacket up. I don't understand

By Beth A from Athens, GA on 12/4/2013
Fit: TRUE
I've only had a chance to wear this once so far, during a snorkeling trip. The XS fit my 5" 2" small frame perfectly and it kept me warmer than I would have been otherwise (I chill easily). It rinsed and dried easily, too. A keeper.
