Note: I originally posted looking for a Men's XL. I was subsequently convinced that I need a Men's L instead. I have revised the subject line and this original posting to correct the error.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone has one of these in Men's Large hopefully black, grey or Slate (dark blue) and wants to rehome it, I'd be interested if the price is right. I do have a US address it could be shipped to if you prefer not to ship to Canada.
I can take anything apart

I have a large that is just too loose for me.I'm 6'2'' ,195 lbs.
Not your colors but it's lightly use O'Neill Slasher...
And i'm in Canada too!
Live pic of the vest!
Was matching great with my yellow MSN gloves and my Quest 45 ski!
I tried on several brands of Comp vests and I took an XL in all of them. I came to the conclusion that all comp vests fit small because I've never fit anything larger than Large in anything else. For example, my Hyperlite life jacket that I bought at Costco is a large and fits me perfectly.
I liked the Slasher best of all the ones I tried on or looked at so now I'm looking for one at a price I can afford. Haven't been working much lately so funds are really tight...
I'd be interested in yours if I knew of a way I could dye it black and was sure the fabric would hold the dye and not dye me black every time I wore it...
I am 6’ 205 and wear an XL in Eagle and Camaro. In one of the stretchy O'Neil vests I would think about a large.
They do stretch a bit. I went from large to medium.
I guess I have to go back to the store AGAIN and try on a medium. If I do manage to get it on in the store I'll probably talk like I just breathed in gas out of a helium balloon...
I also have to take into account that I tend to lose a little weight off my gut and torso when I'm out at the lake so the medium does seem to be the right choice for me. I just might need a little help getting the jacket zipped up sometimes but that's no problem.
Okay so now what I need is a Medium. Unfortunately, I can't change the subject line of the posting now...
Such a jacket is a "nice to have" but not a "need to have" so I just can't justify spending very much on one especially since I just purchased a new ski and set of bindings. I got a great deal and only spent less than $400 for all of that but it was a big expenditure for me. I was just hoping that someone might have one of these jackets they're not using any longer and would be willing to let it go for a price that's more affordable to me. I realize that may not be possible but I thought it was worth it to try...
I'll watch the prices at the local shop though. I have a feeling they'll start blowing their water ski and wake sports stuff out in September to make room for their snow ski stuff so maybe I'll be able to snag a good end-of-season deal if they still have my size in stock by then. Right now the discount is only 10% and I think they might go to 20% or more off a little later on.
I would go with Chefs advice to go Medium which will be my replacement size
When I lost some weight, shoulders of my Slasher when I'm in the water started to go on the ears level )) - Shasher has a zero tolerance in the belt area.
I got Revenge - it has same floating characteristics (very floaty) and it has internal (inside) strap with buckle for fine tuning in the waist area. More convenient if you plan to play with weight in the future without changing west.
It may be because of thicker foam padding in lumbar area or may be just because another year of production.
But for sure Revenge has more tolerance for size because two things:
1st - inside belt strap
2nd - zip is not attached to vest directly but via neoprene "wing" which is stretchy enough.
We are an O’neill dealer.
Let us know what you need.
I have a size Med slasher used as well.
Thx!
