I've used that vest... it is very nice. I usually ride with the approved vest from Rip Curl which is also very nice.

Love the vest. Have a few of them on the boat. Doesnt ride up. Not stiff, forms to your body. Comfortable. I found the flotation better than my old Wake Tech Injected EVA vest. No complaints and havent had any from others.

I have that vest, only question I have is why does it zip up opposite side from every other vest? pisses me off...

my buddy rides that vest and loves it. Says it is very cozy.. Only thing that doesn't look to good to me is that it barely floats him and he is only about 160 lbs.

Ya I have that vest currently but I am trading and getting a JP vest instead. I really don;t like the girdle thing and I find the JP fits better.

The new LF team vests are very similar...

Few years ago LF was using RipCurl to design a new style vest, the partnership fell through ( still have one of the sample vests w/ the girdle ), and loved it. The new Team vests this year dont have the girdle, but seem to fit a lil more snug.

If you like this style, look at the team vests as well, very well priced too
