I think i'm gonna buy a nevin swat, what does everyone think about this jacket, compared to any other CGA jacket?

My chest is 38" w/ 31" waist, and the med size is 36-38 inches, Should i go w/ a small, so it fits tight (i have heard they streatch in the water), or should i order a medium?

thanks

Medium sounds good, but make sure you get the "team" vest (the one with buckles) because the zipper-only one has a tendancy to come undone in a severe crash.

I borrowed a swat vest once and completely lost it in a fall. My friend said it was a safety feature that keeps you from losing the vest.
--true story.
I guess you would know the general vacinity of the person who lost it. That vest scares me.

I've got the Nevin Swat. I like it but its pretty bulky. I think this year I might end up having to try a non-CGA vest. But it did float me really well. I'm 6'0", 200lbs.

I got mine and really like it. Its really comfortable, but does hold alot of water when you get out.

Scotty B, I got a Nevin Flak with LRS last summer. I love that vest. I tried 'em all too (A-10, Stance, Law, Outlaw, etc...). Check it out.
