So the lake that I ride on has just started cracking down on Non-coast guard approved vests. Since I have now recevied (4) $90.00 tickets in 2 weeks for riding with a comp vest I am thinking I should buy a coast guard approved vest. I wanted to see which ones you guys liked and why.

Thanks

i always wear a comp vest too but i also own a uscg incase im riding in a strict area. i have a helium(not sure what model) i got a couple of seasons ago. most of the heliums are pretty low profile for uscg vests

imo this vest is the closest feeling to having a comp vest on rather than a bulky cga

get a oneil law, that is what i have and you can take out the front and back bottom pads really easy. With the pad gone, it is the best vest i have ever worn.
