Default Life jackets

Can anyone recommend a good life jacket product line .. that's not too
bulky, and comfortable.. ideal for water skiing/ski tubing?

Preferably something under like, 60 bucks....

We bought our Body Glove jackets at Bass Pro Shops web site for between
$60-80, and got a spare Stearns neoprene zip-up vest at Wal-Mart for about
$40. The quality in both is comparable- I actually wish we'd spotted the
Stearns jackets first- could've saved some cash.

Stearns is fine - we have had excellent results from Overton's and Ski
Limited's own branded jackets too...

We also have a bunch of old Ensolite jackets and "ski belts" that used
to be state of the art... can't bring myself to toss them out though...
the belts will make some nice "retro" pics some day if we break out the
old Lund "Outboard", Blitz, or Northland "planks"... or the Warren
Witherell slalom!

I have a XXL Jobe neoprene vest from Costco and love it!

When I told a kid that I wakeboarded he asked me what tricks I do... Hell at
47 isn't just getting up on the thing enough of a trick?
