My vest blew out of the boat, so im in the market for a new one.
I need some suggestions for a USCG approved one.
Ive been looking at the Helium Team S.W.A.T. Celtic Wake Vest

You know, I tried on the 2009 Watson USCG yesterday, and absolutely loved it. Great fit, good flexibility, and its not overly bulky. plus, the side zip is always a plus. I'm currently deciding between white and black...it's like buying an iPod haha.

Man look at the billabong pyle...this is one of the thinnest cga vests on the market and it is very comfortable. It is way less bulky than the swat. It is really an awesome vest in person, fit and quality exceeded my expectations and it has the hidden buckles. Truly what I have been looking for in a cga vest.

garret_s, you said "the side zip is always a plus" Why? I own a side zip vest and was curious what the advertised benefit is? Is there one, or is it purely a cosmetic thing? I think I like my old front zip better, because its easier to tighten the buckles.

I just got the new Jetpilot Murray CGA and its awesome, looks great and is very thin....just as thin as my billabong teeb comp vest.

I have the Celtic SWAT and am nothing but overly pleased. It's light, thin, and still buoyant
