Billabong Teeb/Modernism/Nova vest

Don't buy one, destroyed one of each in a less than a week (for all 3). Personal opinion, don't sell a product for a use that it can't stand up to, i.e. more than 5 sets. Don't worry didn't have to pay to replace them but just said the hell with it and got a O'Neil checkmate instead.

My buddy has a new Giharff too and a LOT of the stitching started unraveling after the first set.

the foam in my quicksilver ignite vest balled up after about 5 sets. i ended up cutting it out completely but why are these companies not stitching through the to keep this from happening?gatorskater, what happened to your vests? it really sucks to spend that kinda jack on a vest just to have it shizzle out on you

I loved my billabong sanford but the elastic drawstring thing got loose and its kind of annoying now.

416, a-10's are easily the worst vests available in my opinion.

I prefer helium and oniel.

I've had the same 07 LF Watson for 1.5 seasons at the cable and it's a champ. Same for my brother's helium.

go with the OG pullover vest, the Oneill Gooru. they did it first and still make the best pullover. ive been wearing mine since fall 07 and the stitching is fine and i ride a couple times a week year round. and the foam stays in place. you just need to make sure you get it smaller then you think

The problem with the vests is that the stitching came undone around the bottom drawstring in the first one and the second. The third had the dame problem but the stitching came undone around the bottom pad on the back and I knocked it clean out trying a w2w back 180. I bought them all at performance so they warrantied them out but I just traded up for a checkmate and I love it. My advice to anyone with pullovers is buy them tight because they will stretch out.

P.S. I got all things that are good.

Who makes the billabong vests? two of my friends have them and they are comfy and hold up just fine, the mod and the giharf.
They look like oneill and quicksilver looks like jetpilot????
