Best Vest

Down to two choices. Currently rocking an old JP Cellblock.
I'm torn between the JP Murray and the Oneill Revenge.

Thoughts?

Are you able to try both of these vests on somewhere?

They have a very different fit. The medium revenge is a pretty tight fit on me and the medium Murray is so loose that I almost want to try a small, but did not order any whoops.

Jetpilot Dillon Gun. Super impressed with it, best vest I've ever had.

The JP Murray is a great vest. I had never worn a CGA vest before this year and was somewhat skeptical that it was going to be too bulky, but after using one and reading the thread on CGA vests, I'll always wear one from now on. Check out the Murray.

I wish there was somewhere to try them on, but I don't know of anywhere around here.
As for the Vapor and the Dillon Gun, I'm solid on a CGA, for some reason I'm un-naturally heavy in the water and can sink to eye level letting my air out in a CGA. I plain sink in a comp vest.
Any other thoughts?

The CGA version of the JP SE-Neo-O.G. is also excellent. The bulk is minimal for a CGA.

The Hyperlite side entry is actually really nice. The arm cut outs are largest I have seen. And it is available for $99.99 a bit cheaper than the other vests you are looking at if that is part of your consideration.

I know you said you narrowed it down to two choices, but the Helium SWAT CGA is sweet. I am sure you could find one for a great price to.

I haven't seen the Dillon Gun in person but it looks pretty cool. Is it wider in the chest that other JP vests?
