With the kids having to wear a vest while on the boat all day, which one is more comfortable for them to wear for that long? Neoprene or nylon? Any advice is appreciated.

By far Neoprene. It's alot softer and my boy loves it compared to old nylon.

Neoprene!
Costco and Sam's both have them in stock now. They are CG approved.
Good luck!

O'niell came out with a great one for kids. It is new this year. The one for an infant has a neck roll which will roll them on their back. The next one up is for 30-50 lbs. Does the same thing, has all the flotation in the chest to roll them on their back. They are about $60-70 each. Worth the extra $$$ very comfy, too.

Does that vest have a crotch strap???
Do you know where to find that vest online? I couldn't even find it at O'Neill's website. :confused:
Thanks for any help you could offer. Both of my little ones need new vests!

They do have a crotch strap. I looked for the link on line as well, coudn't find it. I saw it on their site about 2 weeks ago, they must be working on the site. I picked one up at the show as well.
