Buying some cheap wakeboarding vests. Where to?

I need to pick up a few vests, a couple guys and a couple girls. I need actual water sports vests to wear, not just the orange ones. What's the best place to pick up some good vests on the cheap? I checked the local sams, but they really didn't have much. Maybe it was just that particular store.

MCSports had good deals on neo's... however, try and support your local shop, they should have plenty to sell

Also check the closeouts and demo sections of Buywake.com, Wakeside.com & Boardersmall.com

I grabbed some pretty nice vests off of evogear last week. They were on clearance and they had a code for an extra 20% off. I think there new code is for 21% off.

I bought a few HOSports from Costco last year for like $50 or so, and they've been great.

Thanks for the tips. And the boat is incredible!

I picked up a couple at Overton's the other day just for some guest that came out. Coast Guard approved and they were neo's and I paid $10.00 for each. Close out deals.

David, I was just on their website and couldn't find the vest's you are talking about.

Paul, Call the store directly (Raleigh, NC). They have/had a rack with them on it. The brand was Gladiator. They were next to the table that had a lot of gauges and other parts. At the time, they had a lot of XS, S, M. I needed S and M. I do not think they sold out of them, but who knows.

craigslist or here. Right now in this economy plenty of people are parting with boat stuff.

Wal-mart's V-flex vest are pretty good and cheap as well. They dont look like complete crap.

Sort of related & might give you some ideas..... we were at Sears last night & all their camping gear was 45% - 75% off.

I guess summer is winding down & their blowing it out to make room for the fall & winter stuff ????
Maybe other sporting goods stores are doing the same too.
