My all time favorite impact vest was the original Oneill boost, was tiny and have zero weight to it.... hard to find them anymore though.... I currently use the "new" Oneill boost and it is certainly more bulky than the old Boost.
Like others have said, thin/small/tiny = NON-cga approved.... if you fall, get knocked out and have the wind knocked out of you... you're toast unless your driver is on his game.... my original boost I could swim underwater just as easily as without a lifejacket, was only really there to protect my ribs/back from falling hard on them.
