    Comp Vest Reccomendations

    I ordered the O'neill Slasher Comp Vest and it's really high quality, light weight but it's a very tight compression/stretch fit and I'm worried it might not fit over a wetsuit.

    Wondering what everyone else is rocking for comp vests and what's your recommendation to look at! Pics would be great too!

    I've got the body glove Harley vest. I love it. Didn't know how I felt about the zipper after wearing the O'Neill gooru pullover forever. But it's perfect.

      I have a Grubb pullover oneill made a few years back. Its starting to get holes where I pull it on and off, but I don't think I want zippers and so I haven't found anything I think I'm going to like as much despite an inclination to spend money

        One important thing to remember about these light weight comp vest these days is they stretch a pretty good amount when they get wet. So a little snug when it's dry is ok. Just my .02

          That's a good tip. Have to think of it more like a wetsuit than a life jacket.

            I have always preferred the Camaro Impact Vest. I have had 2 prior and just ordered the Camaro Pro Impact Vest which has a built in back support Velcro belt hidden in the vest. A sweet comp vest. You would not be disappointed

              Got the wind knocked out of me once and was under the water for longer than I thought I would be while wearing a comp vest. That thing was in the garbage can that day before it even dried out.
