Yea that is, I bought mine for like $79.

Has anybody else used this one? $39 is an awesome price.

I hope they are good because I just ordered one. Thanks for the tip Charlie. You can't beat that price for a decent wakeboarding vest.

I use this vest and love it, and everyone who has borrowed it loved it, so I am currently calling them all so they quit using my stuff. It's the right amount of padding, and incredibly flexible. The blue one is a generation older, and would possibly have a shorter life span (from what i've seen) FYI.

How's the flotation? I had an A-10 for a bit but hated how little it floated me. Can anyone compare the two and a USCA too? <BR> <BR>Thanks!

I use that vest. Doesn't float the greatest, but super comfertable and wont ride up on you.

How high above the water does it keep your head, Leo?

behindtheboat 04-16-2007 12:43 PM

Depends on how good of a swimmer you are....... it does not really float you at all, it keeps you a little above water, but seems to be more designed for padding in the right places. Don't get me wrong, it's got float, more than those skinny Oneills, but not much.

how's the sizing? This is the vest I want. I am 5'9" 190. L or XL?

behindtheboat 04-16-2007 1:26 PM

I'm 5'7", 160 and wear the M. They fit very nicely, and have the "lumbar" strap to hold a belly in or keep it from migrating up your neck.

hawk22 04-16-2007 2:13 PM

heck at that price, I just ordered one of each. I'll figure it out when they get here then post the other one on this board. <BR> <BR>A-Dub, if your buddies don't get one today, I'll have an L or XL available in a week or so. It may be $5 more or so to cover the extra shipping, but still a good deal I think.
