Check out Body Glove Podium. Simular feel as the oniell outlaw but coast guard approved.

While wakeboarding? Wow! I wonder how often that happens? Were you boardriding or PWC riding?

I was wakeboarding behind a boat.

Sorry to be a pain but I've had a bad experience with Nevin in that I purchased a wetsuit that the stitching came undone after only 4-5 times of riding. No big deal until trying to get Nevin to replace the suit was like pulling teeth (I assumed at the time that if some of the stitching was bad then it's very likely that most of the stitching is bad). After finally agreeing to send it back for repair (which took boarding time away from me for 2 weeks because it was freakin' cold!) I am still the proud owner of the same wetsuit with even more stitching problems which Nevin most likely will not fix/replace under warranty anymore. I have a cheapo ProWest backup suit now that has taken much more of a beating and shows no signs of problems. To top the situation off the lady I spoke with from Nevin during the repair was not very nice to me... :-(

And I'm really happy with my Skiwarm life vest...

hey i am good friends with nevin, perhaps u caught the wrong guy on the way out; or maybe he got fired, who knows. let me know whats up, and maybe i can talk to them for you. all good, they are a great company that is very active in grass roots, and all wakeboarding events, and they are very supportive of the sport. holla at me
