Idk, I just got a feeling that this website was a little sketchy.

I didn't get the sketchy vibe so much... but the one I wore was amazingly comfortable.

i suck at technology so i dont know nuthin bout the legitimacy of the site but my buddy jus got a helium vest, it was a large and the one i wear is a medium jet pilot, so im assuming thats why it kept comin up on me a lot, but it was comfortable and as long as u get the right size it should be great

Dudeski, Every product I have ever bought from helium had horrible quality. They fall apart quickly.

get one with buckles, some of the Helium vests with only they zip and velcro can come undone pretty easily when you wipe out.

do you guys think a risky business non CGA jacket would float 150lbs? I hear that some non CGA can float pretty well, but i have a jet pilot that lets me sink like a rock and i hate it. I just dont like the bulkyness of the CGA jackets. I want to try to find a non CGA jacket that floats

Do you think a size small, 32-35 chest would fit a 135lbs 15 year old? I measured and it came out to be rite at 31-32... measuring rite at my.. well nipple line. Is that the correct place to measure? I have an HO sports vest that says Medium, 37-40 that is really tight on me... Could it just be that the HO one is sized wrong or should i have gotten a medium or large?
