Hey guys,
I'm in the market for a USCG Approved wakeboard vest. I'd like to get the thinnest, lightest most comfortable best available. Can you guys make some suggestions?
Thanks

You should look at the new segmented o'neill. I just got one that was USCG and feels so good. You should check it out. I can't think of the name- but its the one byerly is wearing in the new byerly shoe ad.

You also might want to check out the Liquid Force Hinge Vest...It is the first completely segmented USCGA vest.. The Oneill is not truly segmented because they sew through the foam. The Hinge is constructed of separate pieces of beveled foam. It flexes and feels like a comp vest , but it is USCGA.Contrary to poular belief...some divisions of Liquid Force are still in biz... The accessories division was not owned by eos so it is still up and running..You can call 310.320.2662 you might be surprised as to how the phone is answered. You can check out all of the vests and bags..t's hats etc...@liquidforce.com Peace Liquid Force lives

i used to have an older style oneil that was neoprene. it wasn't too thick and it was very flexible. i think they have redesigned it and named it the throttle. i've also ridden the jetpiolit stance and i thought that it was too bulky and after a hard fall it would kinda curl up.

Check out the recoil series vests by Hyperlite.

There is a Parks vest and a Premier vest.

I like the jet pilot side entry vest. It is the most comfortable CGA vest I have ever seen. I barely even noticed it was there.

I just got the Oneill Assault with lumbar support and I freaking love it! The arms are wide open with no restrictions and the lumbar actually helps for my old fartin' self ride a bit longer! You should also check out the Neil Pride CGA it was by far the thinnest I have tried on!
