Default JETPILOT WAKE VESTS

i recently bought a hyperlite catalyst 5 to 10 wake vest, and i like it, but am returning it due to size issues. Although its not uscg approved, its floats me pretty well (i am 5'3" 110 lbs). I was wondering if anybody knew about the Jetpilot bonifay baller, or any of the other vests, preferably the side entry usgc approved or the molded non approved.....info about its floatation abilities and what not..


ANY HElP WOULD BE GREAT, AND QUICKLY CUZ IM LEEVING SOON..
thanks alot

I have a "Jetpilot bonifay baller" and really like it, it does offer some floatation, although its nowhere near the USCG approved status.

I am about 5'10" 75kg and I use a medium - it even protected me from some w@nker boarding over my back - no dmamge, no problems.

The only thing i would say is that it probably will only last 2-3 seasons as its not the sturdiest vest i have used, however it's looks make up for that.

I have the A10 attack vest (side entry 2004) and it floats me well, i love it and im a big lad! :lol: provides protection from kneeboarders riding ur back instead or the water and absorbs all the impacts. well worth the money

I use a KGB side entry vest, fairly sure it us USCG approved but don't quote me on that. It floats me really well and takes the hits even better.
