      @John:

      If size xs available in Japan, are there any dimensions available for the size xs?  The posted dimensions chart does not include for size xs.

      Sorry @John Galt , I missed this.
      Basically no.  We do not trust the dimensions that the Japanese publish, obviously not because they can't do it, but because we know exactly how we do it, and therefore can be consistent.  You can extrapolate back from S to get a rough idea….

          Man, zero action in the 25oz vest thread.  Is love to convince myself to nab one but am curious how everyone has been enjoying theirs through the long haul

            @Joberwocky If you can find one in your size, get it.

            I owned mine for the better part of 2 years and decided to sell it after the hard admission that i sized it incorrectly (too big) by 2 sizes.

            This is a lifetime piece. no elbows to get holes in, no sleeves rubbing the side seams to wear over time due to high friction.

            Like XHS jeans, it got soft and supple over time and had that perfect mix of feeling like you are wearing armor and the heavy comfort of an armless weighted blanket.

            I am keeping my eye out for a large on the used market, but my list of wants is long and I move on things like molasses.

            Get one if you can, and confuse onlookers as I did many moons ago.

              @jordanscollected I guess I hadn't thought of the wear in terms of less "in contact" areas on a vest.  You make some good points "for"

                        Glad I sized one down from my shirt size, this thing is built like a tank!  I think I'll give it a proper soak later like I did my xhs 777 before wearing and go from there, the long and arduous "softening"  😃

                            I did a hot soak’s was worth doing it.

                                  perfect fit @Joberwocky, I miss my vest badly and will replace it in size large some day. IIRC, the hand pockets are sewn on the bottom inside so they can be used at interior pockets. Now I'm second guessing that…

                                    When I was first looking at the vest I thought it had interior pockets before I realized it was the backside of the pocket bags, so I believe you're correct @jordanscollected

                                        Well, now it's sufficiently "crispy" but I'm still loving the fit and have the room to get some layering under it if necessary.

                                            If you ever want to wear it on the bike,and you don't want to snap it,vest extenders would work.
