    What impact vest should I get

    I'm a small guy with a 32 inch chest and
    I'm worried about the hyperlite franchise comp or the ronix one custom not fitting well
    what impact vest would you recommend for a very slim guy

    Look up Stokes Nitro vest. I just purchased one and love it.
    Quick dry material which does not hold water . Designed a bit different than most comp vests

          I don’t know about either of those vest.

          Yes the Stokes Nitro vest is fine for wake boarding

              I may get over ruled on this but my definition of an Impact vest is just another name for a comp vest. Bottomline
              any vest which is NOT United States Coast Guard Approved

                  I guess you could phase it that way. I'm not anti- safety, but the comp and/or impact vests are way more comfortable and allow for much more freeedom of movement vs the United States Coast Guard Approved vests. These vests are not for everyone, but they have gained in popularity over the years

                        I ended buying a ronix parks vest. it is so flexible and I can float init even if
                        I exhale. The only thing I dont like about it is that there are some loose strings from seam ends
