Life jackets are personal flotation devices (PFDs) and come in a variety of shapes, colors, sizes and materials. Some are made to be more rugged and last longer while others are made for wakeboard competitions. No matter which life jacket you choose, be sure to get the one that is right for you. Refer to size charts for the best fit.
Select a wakeboard vest, commonly referred to as a wake vest, based on your personal preference, state laws and the water conditions you expect to encounter. Remember, spending a little time now can save your life later. United States Coast Guard (USCG) approval means that the PFD has passed rigorous testing and is therefore better suited to keep you afloat after taking a hard digger. We recommend that you look for the USCG approval number on any life jacket - wakeboard vest you buy. Be sure to read the manufacturer's label and the "Think Safe" pamphlet that is attached to the device. Valuable information is contained within these materials. |
