I normally could tell and would think it is, exept I've never seen it at our cable...

anything that is coast guard approved can be used at a cable park

It is coast guard approved. You shouldn't have any problem.

Isn't NCGA non coast guard approved? Thats my take on it. Coast guard approved vest usually have that as a highlight or bullet point.

On a side note, I've used a non CGA vest at a cable park with no problem. Rumors are though that due to insurance they will have to start checking everybody and crack down.

It will say on the label on the inside if it is coast guard approved.

isuckatwakin, It depends where you go. As new cables pop-up, coast guard approved vests are becoming pretty standard. Older cables like OWC don't really enforce it.

It'll be a gamble with that vest so if you want to be sure or if the cable you're going to is fairly new (past few years), you'll need a coast guard approved vest.

ya, thats what confused me, NCGA. and ive seen atleast 5 people witht he side entry wierd looking hyperlite vest on, soi thaught it was strange that nobody had this.. Flixmaster, would i be allowed to use this and what does NCGA mean?

NCGA means NON Coast Guard Approved. Although, with the center zip and two straps it sure looks like a CGA vest.

Also, I haven't been to OWC in about a 1 1/2 years. Do they require CGA now? Last time I was there I was wearing my Billabong pullover comp. Wasn't a problem at the time.

ya they require a CGA... i have a body glove one that has a center zip and two straps and both the straps broke on my first bail.. they dont care

No a body glove jacket that sucks, and I kno the cable operators and they don't care.
