Helium Dragon SWAT vest. CGA, and side entry. Plus it's a pretty cool jacket with good mobility. I've had it several years and always been good to me.

I'll second helium. I snagged an inmate vest in the offseason last year and it's incredible how thin it is for a cga and it also floats me very well, looks awesome, and has great mobility.

my vote goes to the Hyperlite Side Entry vest. it is very thin for a CGA vest, and very flexible and mobile. floats like a cork and comfy as can be.

I picked up the HL side entry as well. Got it on a end of season sale at scheels for 70 bucks. Very comfy, good mobility, but I have no idea how it floats since my boat was put away already.

I have an older (2-3 years old) body glove cga vest. I have ridden both cga and non cga vest and I'm sold on riding the cga vest. More than once I've been disoriented after a wreck and appreciate being sent right to the surface asap.

| I too am interested in finding a women's life jacket that is CGA but not so bulky! I thought about Helium Sugar Cube but any other suggestions? |
