Vest help! jet pilot A10 or checkmate?
I have heard the A10 barely floats you which I am not really to fearful of but I dont have much experience with the checkmate. Any insight on either of these vests?
|
Have you searched for the other vest threads? Those are two very popular vests and I'm sure they have been thoroughly discussed before, shouldnt take too long to find.
|
I have the A-10 its sick and its ridiculously light but i never used the checkmate so i am going to recommend the the A-10.
|
It does float you ok. However, my biggest issue is I am tall and its not really made for tall guys. Price was right. Oh I am 6'1"
|
Check out the new O'Shea vest!
|
Im 6'1 also. Bevan how is the o'shea?
|
I have had 2 A10's both awesome. I use a skyhawk now it floats better but I miss the A10.
|
A-10 sux and is uncomfortable. Checkmate is amazing and longer so perfect for tall dudes. This is no contest... the Checkmate wins hands down.
|
As far as vests with zippers go, the O'shea is certainly one of the best. Light, comfortable, and mobile. huge step up from the A-10

I have a checkmate and love it! Its very very comfortable and moves really well. It floats me pretty well too.
