Which Jet Pilot vest to get?

[SuperJETT]

I won a $250 certificate to Wamiltons in Daytona.

I'm going to get the UMI kit w/o turnplate (already have a Blowsion short plate) for $135, with the other I'm thinking of a new Jet Pilot molded vest in black.

Probably the Attack or Falcon, which do you like better?

Attack:

Just looked on jetpilot.com and neither of those are uscg approved.

they look like laser tag fashion to me!

But the Attack seems LESS Robo-copish

I love the #86.

Is the the 86 the year you were born or the year you graduated high school? I'm thinking the later




What about the Cellblock? http://catalog.jetpilot.com/product.html?catID=47&prodID=136

I like the Attack best. But you should probably go with the approved one so if you do get knocked out it will keep you afloat and turn you on your back.

I have used all three and I like the Attack the best. But if you want an approved vest, the baller (86) in the pic is a really good choice. It doesn't restrict movement like the other approved vests do.

I had the a-10 vest and it blows.. it could not hold my light 135lb ass up.. I didn't fill safe at all.. unless you wanna die in style,, stay away form the lyfe vest...

You can't go wrong if you go with uscg approved.

And no offense but would people PLEASE read...

What 99% of us use DO NOT turn us over if unconsious.

Now I am going back to my hole to continue sniffing DAP fumes.....

I have used the A-10 for the past two years...it is a comp vest and is made specifically for that. It is great for what it is intended for. I love it because I can swim in it, and move freely in it. Plus it does give some flotation. But that is just personal preference. If you want a vest that is going to float you, this one is not it.

personally I liked the jetpilot "flight" vest better than those (looks wise).... those are too flashy for me.

What's that JP vest that's white with I think gold straps. I think I saw JK rockin one like that but I can't remember. Not sure if it was ever available to the public though. But yeah, coolest looking vest EVER!!!

[Shonuff]

Will the Falcon vest protect you from a Falcon Punch?

That's the one I have with different graphics. Very comfortable.

I like it. It sort of has a combination retro/Hollister/Abercrombie feel. :headbang:

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

there are two versions of the baller, from what I can see, one NON coast guard approved, and one that is.

this one is.
