no cga vest will feel like a comp vest. that's the tradeoff you make. the best one IMO is the hyperlite side entry, It's cut just right and has some pretty good flex segments on the front.

I think I'm going to go with the jet pilot a-10 vest it's non cga but it says it will still keep me afloat.. if I just go pure non cga that doesn't float I think I'm going to get a hyperlite catalyst.. I wanted to get a cga but that's light but there just to bulky and I hate that. so it's either going to be the jet pilot or hyperlite catalyst...

I got a jet pilot a-10 last year, it will float you somewhat.I weigh 230lbs and I have to paddle a little to stay afloat in it even with my board strapped on.I decided that I want something that will keep me afloat in the event I'm knocked out,pass out,or break an arm lol.I ordered a liquid force manifesto cga vest to try out for this year.

I'll sell you the XL red a-10 I have.It wound up a little on the small size for me as I'm 6'7" 230lbs lol.I dont want it in my boat.I dont mind wearing a non cga vest if its my choice,but I'd hate for one of my buds to put it on and something happen to them.Lookin cool and a little more flexibility isnt worth dying for IMO.

Disclaimer- I'm not a sissy LOL..

try the Helium FLAK Celtic vest, it's CGA but it's as low profile as most NCGA. i use the NCGA LAK Assassin myself but i only mostly ride on cable.
