How to fit a life jacket? Yeah good question!
At Follow, we figured there isn't a life jacket that fits everyone. This is because each person has a different body shape and has a different body weight - The life jacket needs to have enough buoyancy to counter-act you in the water while still feeling comfortable and looking the part! That's why we created different fits so you can get the perfect one for you. Basically, a life jacket shouldn't fit like a loose t-shirt, but also not like a condom. (I mean don't get us wrong a life jacket protects you too, but yeah anyways different story.)

So how should a life jacket fit then you ask?
It should fit really tight, not so that you can't breath anymore, but keep in mind that neoprene will stretch up in the water and give a little bit over time . If your life jacket is too loose, it'll float up to your ears when you're in the water... and that's not what you want! Make sure it sits snug on your chest and belly and has enough room under your armpits so it's not rubbing or bothering you while you're doing a few handle passes on that 1080 you just learned.
