Hyperlite_06Byerly, Pretty sure it's side entry.

twgapk, No.

The new D1V1510Ns look really bulky to me. I love my '06 s.w.a.t. so much though. Personally i think it feels better than riding vestless Shocked

I thought jet pilot patented the side entry?

skatewake41, a little, but not too bad. personally i highly recommend the oneill Law vest, if you need a CGA vest its definitely the one to get.

i have it and i am ready for a new one. it the helium as bulkey as the law

the helium vests feel more bulky to me but its partially because of the way they are cut. the oneills offer more mobility, IMO.

i love my new helium vest this year, they really did alot more to it esp with the padding design, thinner padding, more flotation, and more mobility. Super comfy and i rarely take mine off. Sick designs too this year. They should start to be in stores now

SkateForce, Does Jarrod have those Division vests in yet at SAM? Those do look pretty sick! I'm currently wearin' the Colin Wright from last year, but only bought that for TSR purposes really, i think i need something smaller and less bulky for the boat/ski sets.
