Life Vest

Im looking for a new vest. Im looking for a comp vest. Ive been looking at jet pilot and hyperlite vests. What are some good quality vests that are out there?

The Watson comp is really stylish and comfortable

loved my helium, anyone know if they are still around?

Helium Flak Jacket. thing Rocked and had LRS( lumbar reinforcement system?) basically low back support like a kidney belt.

Helium is still around as far as I know. A kid on my boat has this:

It looks sick and it's $100 off!

jet pilot A-10 attack series

Jetpilot Chris O'shea vest. It fits exactly like a pullover vest but it has a front zip and a buckle so you can adjust it a little. best vest ever

Not to hi-jack your thread but I figured it was not worth making a post of my own regarding a similar request. I am looking for a new vest as well, but one that is CGA and under $100. Haven't paid much attention to the new gear out there so if any guys have some recommendations let me know. I currently have a Jet Pilot A-10, nice vest but I just don't want to deal with the state police if they happen to come over. A lot of times when I see them approaching while I am riding I just let go of the handle and act like I am fixing my board.

I was thinking about this LF Hinge: http://www.buywake.com/catalog/detail/211565

Have an O'Neil TNT vest and love it. It's longer than alot of other vests so if you're over 5'-7" it helps avoid the mid-drift issue

the new "stearns" deal threw me off I guess. Looks like im getting a new vest! now I just gotta decide...do I feel like a lumber jack, a business man, or just go with the classic and get another flak jacket.

The O'Neill Gooru is a very comfortable vest. I just got one and I love it.

Is the Hyperlite Franchise vest worth the money? Seems a little expensive for a vest.

I just got my Hyperlite Franchise vest in and I love it. Totally worth the money i.m.o.

Does the Hyperlite Franchise or the Jd Webb vest run small or big at all?

I don't know about the JD but the Franchise a Large is for a 40-44 inch chest. Which fit like any other large I have worn.

Any good vests for a tall guy? I am 6ft 1in and have a CG helium. That damn thing gets so heavy. Would like to have the option of a non CG that will protect rib shots but be somewhat comfortable to wear when I am not going hard.

Body Glove. Do it.

go to evo.com and look at there outlet... i got a billabong pullover vest off there for 60 bucks shipped... it dosnt float well but it still floats... if you really eat it it might come up as well but overall i like it. I was just looking for something cheap..
