Wife wants a vest that has contours for the ladies. Anyone have recommendations?

We've tried some Hyperlite and Obrien but no cups, just straight. Doesn't have to be CCA but it does need to float her.

Oneill seems to have good "cups", and I think Body Glove does as well.....

Helium has Women Vest with room for the chesties.

But I dont know if you guys have been paying attention but really no one rocks a vest any more. Thats old school!

^^^ I forgot almost 3/4 of the girls I ride with have helium actually.

I've been sporting a non-approved since I realized I float naturally. ;)

I only ride with a USCGA vest and me and my girls love the O'Neil Law. They make a non-USCGA version called the Outlaw. A few friends have that vest and they like it too. Very comfy, nice looking and safe - my only complaint is usually they are "girly" colors. Why do companies think we only like pink and purple?

I love the O'Neill Law as well, and I found the women's vest in black/grey vs. the pink/purple. But it doesnt'have much chest room. I don't need the room there, but it sounds like Joe is looking for a curve-friendly vest.
I think Hyperlite makes a vest with molded cups...the Profile I think? I saw it while shopping for my vest recently.

I'm pretty stoked w/ my CWB Diamond vest. It fits perfect and floated me well when I got knocked out.

Wife is going to try a new Roxy. All pink with some black. I don't think it's uscga. She'll report after trying it on.

Yes, looking for curve friendly to protect the D-girls. She wants to float so if non-cga it can't be like a super thin jet pilot.

She tried the O'neil and a uscga Hyperlite with no room. I have hyperlite team non-cga on the boat but no girly colors and not curvy up top. I think our second choice will be to try helium. Good that our dealer will keep ordering if we don't like. Thx

CWB has a few choices. Emerald and the Solace
