Looking for a new vest this year.... and I figured I was going to switch over to a comp vest...

BUT, this looks like it would be just as comfy/flexible as a comp vest while still being CGA... would be kinda nice to stay legal

Anyone used it? thoughts? love? hate?

i have no advice as to the vest or how the rules are enforced in the US, but i never get any haggle about my vest being CGA. I can only ride at a resort type place where i can rent a pull and its usually a Japanese wake boarder pulling me so maybe that's why they don't care, but id get what you like rather than the approved or not... just my 2 cents. nice looking vest though, from the looks i wouldn't think it was CGA.

Haven't worn one myself but I've seen them in person. They looked pretty comfy.

I have tried that one on
it seems to be to bulky under the arms for me
the sizes are also different as they fit rather tight
and they are CGA

Just checking back in on this to give an update....

The vest was on my door step last night... BY FAR the best fitting CGA vest I have ever worn... When I first put it on I instantly thought it was going to be too small... Not so... this thing stretches and conforms to your body like a wetsuit... nice and snug, no shifting around... also, it seems like they put a good bit of flotation on the sides, under the arm holes... which is nice because the front and back are the thinnest I have ever seen on a CGA...

I'll get a pic of it on if anyone is interested.
