What are the least restrictive CGA vest? My Dad says that I need to get one because he realized that having a non-cga vest is a safety issue. What are your opinions?

i've had a few vests. some over $120, i'd have to say those damn vest from walmart rule. stearns v-flex. there is little floatation. just on the front--chest down and down the back sides. the middle back and sides are neoprene, no floating. they work great, plus only 40 bones.

Man, you're making me feel big now... 46" chest here :-)

I guess you're still young.

I have a Watson CGA vest and I REALLY enjoy it. The style is great and it's very comfy, and I would be surprised if they didn't make it in your size.. the only issue is the price 100 or so...

I will however give another recommendation for the Sterns vests.. they are actually really nice. I had one for years, it's just gotten a bit stretched of late (since it's also the boat vest), so I got another for personal use. Great deal!

I bought a neoprene vest from sams club, only 30 bucks, and after trying on 10 vests this weekend at my local baordshop I decided the vest from sams clubs is the best. Its CGA and is not restrictive at all. Ocean Pacific is the brand.

Jet Pilot Cell Block, and I have a wide variety of vests over the last 20 years. When this wears out, I will go for another one.

I prefer the Jetpilot Core and you can get any size on ebay for about $40-50
