I live close to the border and they have shop setup specifically for stuff like this. But I've been putting off getting my passport so I can't cross and pick anything up:P

Twice now this has bitten me in the ass. I just bought a new board too and lost out on some great deals due to no passport.

Though I find it really weird that they wont even let me setup a Canadian billing address. I never even got to the shipping since I had no way of paying...

MAKE SURE you call them on the sizes. Stang killa posted this deal a while back and a bunch of us bought vests only to find the size charts we found on other sites were incorrect. A L is ACTUALLY 40-44, XL is 44-48. That's all i remember.

Does anyone know of a left side entry vest rather than a right side entry?

that jacket is hilarious and Christobull, I do not, but I haven't had a lot of vests on me. I'm a southpaw too tho so I can relate however I've always pulled the zipper up with my right hand so it doesn't seem too awkward for me. Why are you looking if you don't mind?

Wakeboarder3780, Bad left shoulder. If I were to hurt it riding, a right side entry vest would be a B%$#@ to take off. For the same reason, I won't even consider a pull over comp vest. I've seen left side entry vests, but never made proper mental note.

Just want to point out several of the vests on that site are non CGA approved. Be careful which one you buy, I bought the Bank Shot and forgot about the non CGA risk and now have to return it.

I got the paisley about a month ago, Absolutely LOVE it! Feels great! I guess i got lucky and found the rite size chart? I also zoomed in on a couple of the pics to check sizes. One of my friends is hopefully getting the Risky Business soon. Wish they had more CGA vests in stock and on sale. If ordering, make sure you check sizes on the charts and look around at other sites and compare, and measure yourself a few times, have someone else do it for you! Good luck!
