     Bought this for my 6'2" husband. He loves it; wears it all spring and fall for extra core warmth under hydro long sleeve top and bottoms and his dry suit. The sizing is a bit off. XL is a bit large; L is too small when wet, both sizes tend to twist on his body for some reason. He still would not give it up so he says it's a ten because of warmth and comfort.

     I am 6'1" 200# and bought the XL hydroskin vest. It is great out of the water but once wet and submerged, it fits too loosely. I'm hesitant to buy the L because the sizing chart for this shows that the L is for people up to 6' and 195# and it might be too tight. When I use this with a skirt over it and a PFD, it fills with water when I roll.

Although the sizing is not quite right, I would not rate this low because the comfort and insulation provided are just what I expected, and I will give it a 10 if the next size smaller fits tight when under water.
