NeoSport 3-mm XSPAN Jacket

Wonderful fit and warm on rainy days

My measurements of chest 42-1/2 inches, height 6 feet, weight 195 lbs, waist 37 inches, Male,I ordered the x large size from Amazon this month Oct 2016 and it came in today and fit perfect.I can also wear it over the o neil superlite wetsuit jacket which i had earlier purchased and i get agood snug fit which is comfortable and which I expect will enable me swim laps in a frigid openair swimming pool which does not have heating arrangements.I had read the 2014 reviews of some of the customers who had mentioned that it runs larger in sizeand was about to instead order the large but i paused and checked with Henderson USA and they very correctly suggested that considering my sizing it would be wiser to go in for the x large instead of the largeas it would allow me to add a layer inside of a neoprene vest or jacket. Actually i can now use it bothways stand alone or with a layer of superlite o neil wetsuit jacket underneath the neosport x span forthe those days which are colder for he early morning swims. The Neosport Jacket quality appears tobe very good though i have not used it as yet. I will update my review after a few days after using it.I thought i should let prospective customers know about the sizing atleast in advance.But i am glad thati went it for the x large size otherwise it might have made breathing difficult while swimming.

This jacket worked great. It definitely keeps the user warm. It is sized to fit over a rash guard or other clothing. I found my normal size to be way too large and had to size down a size. Even after sizing down the jacket will not be tight enough without a rash guard on or some other top on. Just be aware of that when buying.The material itself seems very durable and I found it comfortable. The jacket did not have an overly pungent plastic smell to it so that was a big plus. The zipper was super easy to do and undo and it ran up and down in a very smooth manner. It is definitely nice being able to take it on and off so easily compared to a pullover rash guard or other wetsuit tops.Dimensions that were advertised were accurate. Just be aware that the sizes are purposefully large because this is a jacket that is intended to wear over other gear.Pros:*Kept the user warm*Easy to put on and take off*Sized to fit over gearCons:*NoneAdditional Considerations:this jacket is great for colder waters. If you are simply just looking to protect yourself in your local pool, go for a rash guard instead.Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 starsIf you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

The size is smaller than other clothing items labelled with the same size, but it does the job.

I love this wet suit jacket. I use it to water ski in Alaska and its perfect in the summer months with just board shorts and this. The wetsuit is very pliable and easy to swim, water ski or do other water sports as far as stretch goes. I'm thrilled with this purchase and hope it holds up because its perfect for my needs. I also love that its a long wetsuit. I'm 6'2" and it fits well past my trunks to keep my torso really warm.Size: I would suggest that you buy one size SMALLER than you usually use. I buy an XL EVERYTHING and I purchased this in a size Large and its perfect. You want wet-suits to be nice and tight to work properly. Again, I'm 6'2" and 225lbs muscular build and the large is just fine for me. So size down if you want to get a proper fit.

This was a little big for me, I wish I could get an XXS. I bought the xs I am 5'6", size 34-C, maybe 130 lbs??? I am considered slender but could use the gym lol. The bottom sleeves were too loose, and water was sloshing into it. I fixed that by just cuffing the sleeve once. It did not ride up too much during my son's toddler's and tots swim lesson. I did feel warm in this jacket, I felt a slight chill if we sat still too long, but not by much. I was very happy to be wearing this. I also liked that it covered me up too.

Very happy with these. My sons have used them surfing, but our general use and purpose of these are for oystering.Most of oystering season is cold. We mostly oyster by hand and these jackets are great. Blocks a lot of the wind and keeps your arms and chest from freezing off in the cold water.It has held up well ( 2 seasons so far ). Easy to wash and dries overnight for next morning. Easy on over a thermal rash-guard before putting on waders, and easy off when you get to the landing.Also easy to put on over a wetsuit when surfing in middle of the winter.Have a couple other brands of jackets like these, but by far this is my favorite.I wear an extra-large shirt and hoodie.....a large in this jacket fits well. My son wears a large shirt and a medium in this jacket.Hope this helps someone.Update. Bought 1st ones in winter 2012-2013. Still using them, as are my boys. Surfing and working. Still very happy with this jacket.

My kids boat/paddle board in some pretty cold, high mountain lakes, reservoirs and streams. We love this 3mm weight. It's thick enough to make the chilly water bearable, even comfortable. Also bugs can't sting through it so great for chilly summer nights. My only concern is you realize how WARM 3mm is. (We're slight framed, always chilly gals.) For sizing I'm 5'7", 115 lbs. I bought S and M, but exchanged both for XS. The S was comfortable, but XS hugs body closer 2keep water out. Stretches to fit multiple users @ same size. Good value, well made. We love & use almost daily

The jacket appears to be of good quality. I wasn't happy about the fit though. I ordered the XXL, based upon the size chart and the way my Neo Sport XSPAN vest fits. The vest is nice and snug, but the jacket in the same size is too baggy. There is loose material around the torso and on the arms. Should have gone for the XL, but wore it in the water, so didn't feel right returning for an exchange.

6'5 & 310 lbs. For the price it is fairly well made, as a big guy it is hard to get stuff that fits at all let alone well. I bought a 6Xl but it is not totally proportioned for me. I am an athletic big man, shoulders are OK, belly is slightly loose and the neck is to tight to zip all the way up comfortably for all day use. All very livable for Seadoo use, I would want tighter for diving.

This is a thick good quality neoprene jacket with a strong solid zipper. My husband is a slender 6’5” , long in the torso with long arms. Chest is 48” and he normally takes an XL or XLT. This was way too big, bulging around the shoulders and baggy from chest to waist, and the arm length was a little short. We sent it back for a large which had even shorter arms but fit better from chest to waist but not exactly snug. We are going to try that on our upcoming trip.

Great jacket, very waterproof. Much easier than a wetsuit to don and doff, meaning I can keep it behind the seat for sudden foul weather. I bought a size too small, but not going to fault the jacket for my own stupidity.

Have swim spa in back yard, but with cold winter temperatures was hard using the spa to exercise in. This jacket fit well, and provides excellent protection from the cold. Dries very quickly and keeps me very warm.
