				 | [QUOTE=Fishoholic;842340]....... I suggest you go to a store like west or BP and try some on......See what's comfortable....... 
and then go and order it online from Defender Marine.  MD3184 Defender $240  West $315...... 
West Marine is one of the most overpriced stores around.  I only go when I really have to.       I am in the process of drawing up some side curtains for the boat.  Sunbrella price D$15, W$30 per yard.
 
I have been doing business with Defender for years, and Hamilton Marine.  Jamestown too thou they have been coming up in recent years. |

				 | Fishoholic......
 thanks for that, never heard of sailsmarine, excellent prices on those vests.
 
 I saw that about Jamestown doing the price match, that's cool.  I usually get my glass and MAS epoxy there.  Great store, they get allot of my business.
