Jetpilot Shane Bonifay comp vest?

[makejetskiinggreatagain]

Anyone use one of these? How do you like it? I'm assuming its not USCG approved right? Where can I find one in the states? I want the dark denim. It seems easy to find the blue but not the black. http://www.jetpilot.com.au/products/SHANE-BONIFAY-SEG-FE-NEO-VEST_1740_327.htm

Seems high priced for something that isn't USCG approved.

It's only cool if it isn't, in fact, USCG approved. I thought that was common knowledge?

Why cant they make cool vests that are USCG approved, preferably a side entry one? seriously....

Because the desired slim profile doesn't provide enough flotation and will not keep your head upright if you are unconscious.

The most attractive USCG approved vest I have found is the Slippery Switch vest, it has a slim profile and fits well. Best part is, for guys over 6' tall, it actually comes down to the top of your board shorts so you don't look like teenage girl on spring break and have some ridiculous tan line just below your belly button. I never understood the draw to a side entry vest.

Side entry is better for hood tricks! No buckles or zippers to scratch your ski or get hung up on...

I love my bonifay vest. I got the blue bc the black is impossible to find.
