Ok so i used my friends jetpilot vest one time and didnt like it at all cause I still want to float, i just dont like to be sinking way down when im first getting up and stuff. Overall i just want a Vest that will keep me afloat and still keep a low profile. Really like the style of wake vests, just dont know which one i should get? thanks

TexasDevil, I would recommend a vest by Helium then. Even their CGA vests float very nicely, and their non-cga vest preform very well. The reason you werent floating well is because you didnt breath properly in the vest. You really have to relax, take a deep breath, and you will float just fine. Check out the new line or last years models of Helium/Nevin if you want a solid vest.

Jet Pilot (like most other vest manufacturers) makes several different models. My Jet Pilot 1986 floats me very well.

I wanted something a little less bulky though so I just ordered one of their '06 Ballers. We'll see how it floats after it gets here.

Now is the time to buy vests. Lots of brand name stuff on sale.

I used a hyp indy vest last year, It floats great but rubbed raw spots on my arms.
