i agree with provin1327, those gooru tend to fall apart rather fast

I like the Jetpilots because they don't slip up when you fall. I really liked the heliums but they bunched up around my chest when I fell hard of a rail or kicker. Also the zipper on the side tends to open when you fall really hard.

The gooru is the most comfortable vest I've had on up to now but also has the worst protection and lasts from here to tuesday if you ride daily and do obstacles (badly Very Happy

)

The gooru falls apart fast? that sucks because i was planning on getting one for this season. i already tried the jetpilot a-10 and i didn't like em. mabey i will go with a helium do they run big?

I have a jet pilot 1986. I think they;re like 50 bucks on amazon now. It's really comfy and I can't complain at all. It's been a great vest

the gooru has prooven its age, that vest has been around FOR EVER. i've had a few but i've switched the jet pilot A-10, which probably has the least floatation of any vest but it makes me look cool so i dont care Smash

The jet pilot is really really really comfortable. The 1080 vest with the spikes on the shoulder is even more comfortable and now that i think about it, is less floaty then the jet pilot and you will look so cool in your comp with the spikes on your shoulder, its almost like doing another trick, or the judges will be so intimidated my your masculinity and toughness that they will surely let you win.

bochner, i got the flak jacket. it has a built in back brace that you stap around your gut before you zip it up so its stays in place nice. i have had the zipper come undone on a few hard bails. but over all i love it.

the 07 heliums are built even better this year. no more problems witht the zippers coming undone on hard falls either. most of the division vests now have little buckles next to the zipper and most of the vests are actually thinner, but float more than last year. i have the plaid vest. its like a effin tshirt
