I am deciding wether to buy a jetpilot side entry life vest. Does anybody have opinions on them.

if yer fat, you's a sinker!

Yeah I only weigh 140 and they sink pretty easily, but all you need to do is kinda keep yourself up with your hands.(By the way i have the A-10, very comfortable)

You'll like it... <BR> <BR>comfy, light weight, freedom of movement <BR> <BR>

I don't get it. Why spend hard earned money on a vest that won't float you? You will sink just fine without the vest. plus you will have even more freedom of movement.

I'm 195# and float just fine with my JP Baller vest. I love it. Super comfy.

go for it dude, i picked up the attack vest and love it! it floats you, as long as your in a lie down seated position, if you try to sink yourself you will sink, but in a regular position it floats just fine, and on falls just takes extra second or two to get you back above water.

I have the Jet Pilot Baller as well. Im 205 and I love my vest. Keeps me afloat enough, but definitely not as much as my old Jobe did. Its alot more comfortable too.

what about LF team watson vest is it anygood

buzz_grande 06-01-2005 5:08 PM

I have the JP Cell Block side entry. Super comfortable, and floats me better than any other vest I have used.

I have an Oneill The Law vest and I wouldnt trade it for anything.

I have a baller, and another guy on the boat has a stance, both float me, I prefer my baller though for fit, I weigh 185.

I have the Oneill Vapor vest and I like it a lot. it floats me really well even if i try to sink myself or fall real hard, and it's super lightweight and flexible.

bought one last year...used it 2-3 times...i weigh 170 lbs and sank like a stone! pass on it!

My boys ride with the A-10. Super comfy, like the above stated, not as bouyant as a coast guard approved. Alot less bulky and brings you right back up to the surface. Jet Pilot is the name to go with. Great customer service and well made.
