- PJPamela J.Verified BuyerReviewingXcel Women's Axis Front Zip 1.5MM Vest BlackI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars9/25/23Just about perfect
I purchased this for swimming laps. Sometimes the pool is a little colder than I prefer. This vest is lightweight and has the advantage of larger arm holes that don’t inhibit my stroke. Actually the arm cutout is the best feature. Another excellent feature is that it zips up to my neck but not so far that it pinches. It’s a little tight at the bottom where the zipper starts, so I pull it up to my waist to zip and then pull it snugly over my hips. It’s more expensive than vests I have purchased previously, but I like it better. And by the way, I wear clothing in a size 2 and the size 4 vest is a good fit.

This vest is exactly what I was looking for. I swim outdoors year round and just needed a little something extra to stay warm this winter. I chose my dress size and it got perfect.

This is my 3rd xcel vest, they last abt a winter season of 5 day a week outdoor pool swims. I wear a 6 in clothes, using a size 8 vest, which is hard to zip but stays in place without bagging. Best vest so far for cutout around back & shoulders for free arm movement -

I can't for the life of me get it zipped. I know neoprene should be tight, but??? Will try again because the quality is great and exactly what I want.

Check size chart. Your typical size will not fit. I'd guess it runs at least two sizes small.
