It seems to be well made and a great solution, but the sizing was off for me. I wear a small in all wetsuit brands and they suggested to stick with your wetsuit size for this Rash Vest but this is far too small for me, Unfortunately I didn't try it on until just before I went surfing, so Im guessing I can't exchange it now for a bigger one, I can still get it on, but when I pull the hood on it pulls on my neck and makes it really stiff and uncomfortable. I believe this is 100% due to the small size and not a design fault, so I guess I will be just wearing as a regular rashie, so my advice would be to consider going a size up
