I don't know if this topic has been discussed on here yet or not. I'm looking to get a new life vest for me this season. I like the O'Neil Boost. It seems to fit really nice. I like the JetPilot too. Which one do all you prefer and how well do they work?

Jet pilots are nice, just no protection on the ribs. Also look at the LF vest, they too are comfortable and THIN.

how bout the jp baller i like the look and the feel but how well do they perform in the water

I have the Jet Pilot A-10. I like it a lot. It has removeable hip protection.

I've heard nothing but good talk about the O'neill Outlaw vest. It has the flexability and lightweight of a non cga vest, but it still floats and protects like a vest should. I know that's what I'm getting as soon as I stop being poor.

my boys love the Jet Pilot A-10 The only problem is people try to steal it so put your name in it and keep your eyes on it at all times! <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/212680.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/212680.jpg</a>

Between the 2004 LF Comp. or the 2004 Jetpilot which one would you go for? Mike says there's no protection for your ribs on the JP, is there protection on the others?

I have a jet pilot A-10. I think it does just fine with the protection. I have heard good things about the O'neill Boost too

the Jet Pilot Stance has no rib protection but the A-10 has rib protection built in.

I am really fond of my Nevin FLAK jacket super comfy and built in kidney/back strap, which you appreciate after you stack a couple of double ups lol

I personally prefer the looks of a good ol' AK-1. Of course I run the stock BLAZE ORANGE color in case of them "wylie" wakeboard hunters lurking about the shoreline.

the FLAK HANDS DOWN!
