Quiksilver Ignite Vest?

Buergday · Guest

Does anyone on here use one? What do you think of it? I just picked one up on Buywake on sale for $39 - down from $70. My old Boost was getting kinda smelly.
Also, it seemed kinda wierd, but the sizing chart said that I should get an XL. I'm 6'1", 185. My other vests are larges and mediums. So if you have one, what size is it and how big are you?
Thanks!

Buergday, I had that vest earlier this year. I am 6' 175, and purchased a large according to their sizing chart. At first, it fit nice and snug, but after a couple of sets, it was a tad stretched due to the water and what not. It was a great vest and for the price they have it at, its a great addition to any PFD collection. The only real problem I had with it it was it floated me a bit too much for my liking. However, that is such a small complaint, so it truly is a great riders vest. You will like it though. Are you very familiar with the nevin line of jackets? It compares to a Josh Sanders, except floats a tad better. The movement was nice too. I thought that was the boxed pfd though, if I am not mistaken... On the name part. I am not 100% sure of that though.

Thanks Blake. Yeah, it's called the Ignite Boxed or something. Now I wonder if I should have ordered a large. Confused

Oh well - too late now.

BTW - You said that you had it "earlier this year". Why don't you have it anymore? Did it fall apart or something - or did it just stretch out?

Buergday, a buddy of mine fit it a tad better then I did so I sold it to him. I went with a large, when I usally wear a medium. He just seemed to ride in it better then I could so that was a big part of me selling too. That, and I dont like my jackets to float like a normal USCGA vest, so that was another issue I had. THe over all quality was like everything else QS; top notch. You will like it, I promise.
