Looking for a good pullover, or a side clip. Anything clean down the center that you guys would recommend. What do you guys like? I've seen a few (online), but in our area there isn't a lot to look at. (That's where u guys come in) Hint hint....

Thanks
Jay

What size do you wear? I bought a Jet Pilot neoprene (CG approved) side entry and it's too tall for me, I need a L instead.

So, mine is for sale if you're interested. It's black with some white/grey/red.

I've never worn anything but coast guard approved. I wouldn't mind trying a thinner non approved one. Heading to Reno today, hopefully get to try on some. The shops usually don't carry much for some reason. We'll see.

I have a jetpilot side entry and a fly racing pullover.... I actually like the fly racing better... both can be bought from parker yamaha... search for parker on yahoo if you're not familiar...

i got the jetpilot "baller" non-cga vest...found it on sierratradingpost.com for 54 bucks....overnight shipping for $65 total...i like it alot
 
I tried on about 10 different ones before I found the one I was happy with. I ended up with a Liquid Force Watson USCG approved. It's a side entry with the buckles under the front panel and off to the side. It seemed less constricting than the Jet Pilot and O'Neill's. No more scratching up my handlepole doing hood tricks.

I really like the wakeboard side entry's as well, I have a jetpilot, just make sure that the cops in your area dont hassle you about it.....I have to wear a CG approved in NC, because everytime we are out I get stopped and "checked over" and they give tickets for non CG approved.

I just bought a Jet Pilot Flight Vest about 3 months ago. I have probably ridden about 50 hours or so in that time. It has held up great and I barely know it's there. I am weird though, because I actually prefer a nylon vest over neoprene...maybe its a phase I am going through....
I love it personally, good jacket.


Edit: Forgot to say its the side entry version. I got it from blowsion.

i have the same one as smoofers and i love it. i like the nylon more too, the neoprene tears up my nips and i dont like wearing rash guards when its 90 degrees out
