I am about to order a new vest online but I am not sure what size is right. I am 5'9" and 175 pounds. I have fairly wide shoulders for my size and I think my chest size is 42.

I also am looking at a few different vests from different companies so if maybe some of you could post your vest brand and your body size it would help out a lot.
Thanks

I would defiantly try a few brands on before you buy. They all fit a little differently for the sizes. Some have high-necks, some buckle at your chest. You will also see how the distribution of flotation is. I tried on the cell block and it felt like I had a tire around my waist.

I'm exactly your size and I bought the Helium Division Plaid Side Entry Wakeboard Vest from The House. I first ordered a Medium, but it seemed too small. I just got the Large, and it's perfect.

It's a sweet vest, but not CGA. It floats better than most non-CGA vests I've come across.
