Look for one with decent-sized arm holes and that's built with separate segments (not just big panels). There isn't much you can do for CGA and thin but you can at least get CGA and a little bit of movement/flexibility.

I would go with the helium swat side entry CGA if you want CGA.

wakesskaterr536, yeah cables over here arn't so strict. You just have to be wearing any kind of jacket/vest over here.

Good luck finding the middle ground between cga and something that actually lets you move.

wakesskaterr536, i was in the same situation at the beginning of this season since my parents would NOT budge on letting me ride with a comp vest, i ended up going with the CWB Essential and its a pretty good vest, lets me move and has pretty good arm holes
