I am 6'2" 175 lbs and looking for recommendations on a comfortable vest that allows maximum movement. Coast guard approved preferable but not a must, it would not be the first ticket I got.

. Help me out!!

Got A chance to check out the 08 Murray vest from Jet Pilot, I was very impressed, thinnest USCGA vest I have ever seen, if I was in the market for a USCGA vest I would wait for Murray's 08 vest!!

I have the Ronix vest. It's a comp vest but I really like it. It's like wearing a rash guard top.

Hyperlite has some cool comp vests coming out. They have a pullover that's similar to the O'neill and also a shorter cut version of Grubb's vest.

I picked up the Helium SWAT Logo CGA. Love it, not too restricting and not too thick. A little thicker than the comp vests, but still awesome.

How about one not to buy. I have the Jet Pilot Cell Block. Wouldn't buy another one. Seems to hold a ton of water. Also it seems large. I bought an XL and it's just a hair too big. Wasn't able to try it on and found out after the fact that they run big. A friend has a large I tried on and it fits better, but still seems pretty bulky. It is CGA though and floats me well. This was my first neoprene vest so initially I was pretty stoked about it. But after trying other's, I'd definitely try something different next time. Maybe I'm expecting too much from a CGA vest?

Im thinkin about getting a Gooru, do they float okay? or are they like the A-10's were you sink if you sit still.
