I would go with the XL for better comfort. If you have an athletic build and your chest size is 46/48 depending, the XL size would provide a better fit and ensure comfort during wear.

I am thinking it says 15 pounds flotation. The life jacket provides 15 pounds of flotation, which is within your desired range of 22-27 pounds.

I have a 44 chest and it fits fine. The extra-large size should accommodate your 44-inch chest without any issues.

No, it's a type 3. The jacket is for people who don't like bulky life jackets but don't want a citation from a game warden. It's better than nothing at all. This life jacket is classified as a type 3 device and is suitable for paddling and rafting activities. It is designed to offer a balance between comfort and safety, providing adequate protection while minimizing bulkiness.
