I am a bit old and less style concerned than many of you all . . .

I bought the thinist most comfortable CGA vest I could find. I want CGA for 2 reasons - #1 they generally do a much better job keeping one a float. That is important to me as I spend time floating near my boat with my 3 year old daughter. Having to tread water is no good. #2 I ride PWCs and I need a CGA to be legal.

I found a nice liquid force jacket that I really like.

The Bug, urinal mint, I agree, the Nevins are sooo comfy I dont see how you could pass them up, and they makea CGA one its the Collin Wright sig, which is a sick ass vest as well

The Nevin Swat is CGA; but it rubbed a little. The Nevin Flak might be more comfortable. Good luck!

I'm sorry Evan, but that Mica vest looks like barf. The new O'neill vapours look really nice though. Simple, stylish, and floats reasonably well (at least it seems lasts years did)

Scratch that it doesnt have the buckle so i think im just gonna spring for the money and buy a CGA Collin Vest, unless there is something better for my money...

urinal mint, they stretch out in the water. i have a Medium that fits well until it gets wet then it rides up real high. i usually wear my sisters which is a small which is a beach to get on but once im in the water its good

well the medium is for sizes 36-38 and i'm arounda 40 so it shouldn't to much. besides if it does it's all good, i got it for 51 bucks.
