Anybody have this vest? If so what do you think? I've heard they run big, is this true, and how much less flotation is there than a CGA vest?

I'd like to know about the sizing as well. I use a Medium O'neill now & was wondering if a medium JP vest would be the right size.

I have it in silver. I used it about 20 times and it already looks pretty rough. It is a great vest, I would get it in black though. Plus when it is wet it just looks an ugly blue color. Other than that it is an awesome vest.

I got mine from Buywake. The sizing goes off of your waist size.

As for flotation, it floats, but not well. This was my first non-approved, it took a couple of times to get really used to it.

Just got a silver one, the Large fits great, but I think the silver looks a bit too much like a kid's Halloween costume or something, its got reflective stuff on the molded parts that stick out, and it just didn't look good. Think I might exchange it for a black one, or the regular Jetpilot molded vest.
