Has anyone used this vest?? How does it float, i know its non CGA. Also how is the sizing?? I dont have a local shop that carries Helium so i cant try one on. Thanks in advance

I ride for Helium. The swat vest is a nice and floaty vest. I rode it for a season. To be 100% honest with you, I really am not a fan of the built in back brace. It has a tendancy to move around and roll over when you crash. But all in all it is a solid vest.

Andy, the backbrace is built in? Sounds kinda uncomfortable, do u recommened another vest?? I love the helium style. Lots of help from you today, really appreciate it!
What up Joe- yeah they stay away.i do occasionally board some x-stars though, just cant help myself, hahah

Its not really uncomfortable. It just rides up when you crash hard on your back. I really dig the Balance Series and the Division Series, the Rove Series is Cool But I am not that into the graphics on them.

The Swat Jacket and the Flak Jacket both have build in Back Braces. Although we may have dropped the back brace from the 09 swat series I just shop them an email to make sure.

Yeah no Lumbar support on the Swat. Only on the Flak.

Any experience with the SWAT CGA? The Celtic version?
