Hey guys, i recently purchased the falcon vest without much research. Any thoughts on it? I do not believe that it is CGA approved so is that gonna cause me problems down the road?

i used it today for my first time, i have a small and weigh 158ish

i was expecting to not float that amazing, but it seemed just as good as my old uscga body glove vests...

I ran the Falcon last year. Feels comfy, light, and floats very well for a NCGA vest.

where i live (in MD) supposedly it is legal to wear one on the water as long as you have a CGA on the boat to make up for it, this is coming from a guy at my shop that was trying to sell me a comp vest, so i dunno how reliable he is
