Im about to get a new comp vest and the problem is im a bigger guy and want one that is a little longer. I had a jet pilot a-10 but it came way up on me. and there is nothing cool about a fat guy wakeboarding with his gut hanging out. Im 6'4 and 220lbs just wondering if anyone knows anything about longer cut vest i have tried on the LF cardigon and seemed to fit ok but dont have the money to drop 120 on a vest right now i have been looking for a used one but they are hard to find.

skye120, They're tough to find. I'm your exact size and haven't had much luck myself yet. I have an O'Neill Gooru that works reasonably well. Not sure about current models but the one I have from a few years back had a draw-string so you could pull it on and tighten it up. Keeps your belly from poppin out and is a super comfy vest. Cool

Most Billabong vests also have the draw string thing at the bottom
