    Jet pilot life vest

    I'm needing to pick up a few new vests and saw this one on sale. Do any of you have this? If so, do you like it, recommend it, or other wise have any information on it?

    Thanks!

    I use those vests. They are great vests. Very comfortable. Straps and zipper stay out of the way. Highly recommended.

    Might check out JetPilot's website. Sometimes around year end they have offer pretty good clearance deals on last year's models.

        I don't know about the Jet Pilot, but i can vouch for the Side entry zipper, I've got a Nevin "Swat" Vest with the side entry and I love it. I don't think i'd go back to a regular front entry after this one. And with the reputation Jet Pilot has I'd say their vest is probably also very nice.

          I had that exact vest (well, I actually still have it) and one thing that irked me about it was the straps have a pretty long run from the back to the front without guides and the straps would always get twisted up. No other real gripes about it other than that.

          I can also vouch that no zipper on the front kinda makes it feel like body armor. Kinda cool if you don't mind donning it over your head every time.
