Comp Vests are very different from United States Coast Guard approved floatation vests. When you don a USCG approved vest, the knowledge that you are safer in the water with a reliable floatation vest is a relief. Meanwhile, a competition vest is more comfortable to wear but it's not that reliable to prevent you from sinking. It's similar to an old debate of Fashion comes first before Comfort or vice versa. With water vests, its Safety versus Comfort. So how does Jet Pilot make up for this difference? Jet Pilot are the makers of race gear, action sports clothing and apparel, water sport gear and safety gear. They have the experience and approval to make vests that not only measure up to the standards of the United States Coast Guard, but also to make them as comfortable as possible without sacrificing safety. For a good example, have a look at the Jet Pilot New Vest line. The whole design of the vest are made with Safety, Style and Comfort in mind. The Safety standards measures up to the stringent testing of the United States Coast Guard as published in the USCG website. The Style incorporates the most modern materials into an appealing look that does not sacrifice any utility like snaps, zippers, and harnesses. The vest is a comfy fit for the whole range of body types without sacrificing the necessary flexibility that comp vests needs to have. Using such materials such as the Air-Lite Core Foam which is 40% lighter than traditional PVC Foam and is made out of 100% PVC free ultra-lite core foam. It also has a fully sublimated all over print and dual buckle closure. It's sensible to wear a comp vest when participating in a water competition that needs it since safety issues are a competition organizers main priority Having on a comp vest where the USCG will ticket you for not following USCG guidelines regarding proper vest attire is not sensible. If something goes wrong, you have to rely on yourself and on others. If you are just playing water sports for recreation, then the approved USCG vests by Jet Pilot is just right so you can still remain comfortable in the water without sacrificing safety.
