My husband and I both bought the charcoal color. As soon as they were delivered we tried them on and adjusted them. I was amazed at the comfort of this PFD as well as the quality. Both PFDs fit my husband and me like a glove. The adjustability of them is fantastic, and the ability to move freely while wearing it is priceless. I love how large both the front pockets are. And again, I love how comfortable this PFD is, this PFD doesn't ride up when you sit down, which is very important in my opinion.
I would recommend it to friends, and I would buy another in a heartbeat

Being a bigger guy (6'3" 250) I was having a hard time finding a decent pfd that fit me well without being stuck half way up my torso. So I took a chance and ordered the NRS Clearwater sight unseen (45 something from departmentofgoods.com), and I must say I'm very pleased.

Good range of motion in the boat
Flotation is high on the back so as not to interfere with the seat back
This thing seems infinitely adjustable and I imagine you could cinch down the XXL to fit just about any adult in a pinch
I'm giving it an 8 because it could use a few more attachment points (no where on the front for my fixed blade)
You can unzip the front and leave the bottom buckle buckled if your a little too warm
My knife does seem to mount nicely on the adjustment straps on the side of the pfd under either arm.

All in all, a solid PFD that keeps me floating without being stuck around my chest.
