Hi guys, I just received my new impact vest (ION, Vector Core, ordered from Xtreme-Inn).
It is quite small, it fits me but it is tight over my wetsuit. It's bearable, but wonder if it will stretch or too much after an hour on the water ?

How tight should it be ? Or do I have to change it, order a new one ?
Thanks.

my ion vest stretches when wet so you should be fine, and you don't want it riding up to your ears when you fall in

since covid beer, my impact vest is quite a bit tighter and significantly more difficult to zip up. but I do not notice any adverse effects on the water

Thanks Sean, I went tonight at our regular 6pm Easterly blast in Canberra, the vest was great, couldn't feel it on, don't really want to test the impact though. Cheers.

They're supposed to be snug but you may want to get one the next size up.
