Hey guys! So I've been boarding for about two years now... first year didn't get out much, basically learned how to get up and do a bit of traversing with a board. Last summer, finally got comfortable with edging, so in preparation for this upcoming summer, I'd like to get myself a new life vest.

The last two years I've gone out I've always just used ones that my family owns, and they're never quite the right size - so I decided it'd be worth my money to purchase my own.

With that being said, do you guys have any recommendations for a decent life vest to wear while boarding? Along with that question, where would you buy from?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention I'm looking for a vest somewhere in the 20-40 dollar range ... I don't think I'm hard core enough to spend quite that much on a vest.

Not sure what size you are some of these are limited. Like wtwdevil said the SWAT is a good CGA. I love mine because it is longer than most other cga's.
