How to Measure & Choose Your Fit
Chest: Wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level and comfortably snug. Compare your measurement with the chart for your vest type and year.
Kids: Choose the CGA vest according to the weight range on the product label, then check that it fits securely and cannot ride up.
Safety: Competition (comp/impact) vests are not a substitute for a US Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Always verify the approval status and fit of the specific product.
