I'm looking for a new lifejacket and was wondering what you guys would reccomend. I'm an active racer and looking for a high quality vest, thanks.

I'm new so I thought some pics would be appropriate...

One of your lines is dragging in the water. Tsk Tsk. ;). Welcome!
 
Yes, I'd buy either an Extrasport or a Lotus PFD. Both are really good and evenly matched. Lightweight, flexible, full movement. Whatever you'd like better. Both you can get from APS www.apsltd.com or Team 1 Newport.
 
I went through the same search last year and ended up with the Stohlquist brik. Stohlquist is a company that specialzes in paddlesports- so there pfds have great upper movement. The only drawback i believe is that they are a tad overpriced at around $135. As mackenzie said lotus also makes a great lifejacket.
