Buoyancy
 
So I'm hoping that someone out there in wake world can shed some light on this for me. I was looking at the billabong garage vest and wanted to know if anyone had a billabong vest and how well it floats you.

I have a couple comp vests (liquid force team and liquid force cardigan) and they both float me differently. The cardigan barley does anything for floating. Will billabong be comparable to that or?

Any input helps

I had a Billabong Medley 2011 comp vest that had a decent amount of float, and was super comfy, but I would slowly sink if I had no board on and let out all my breath out, so I switched to a CGA vest last year

Just an FYI. Costco has some really nice Hyperlite CGA vests right now for $40.

+1 for the Costco Hyperlite vest. That's what I switched to and it's comfy and not too bulky

I have a Jetpilot murray and I love it for a CGA vest, but was just wondering about the billabong for a non-cga

Non-CGA vest wearers are just Darwin award contestants. It only takes one time..... Be smarter than that!
