Life jackets

[bruin_d]

Who makes a good, reasonably priced, life jacket?

[Expensive Date]

Jet ski style vests are available at any boat shop.While not as good as lifelines they are still better than what most people wear which is nothing

Lifelines , nothing but the Best

[Chris Sunkin]

It all depends on what your expectations are. If you want it to save your life, I'd buy one of the better one's. Lifelines are the best. In that class, you can shop the competition but there's no money to be saved.

Life lines are the best for a high speed crash.
We have Mustang suspender style. If you get those buy the ones for sail boats with d rings, gives you a stronger harness.

Sorry, my pockets aren't as deep as most of you guys. I can't really afford to spend $2000 on 5 life jackets.

Go to the Mustang site and click on power boating ..... they offer a life jacket rated up to 100 mph .... it has a small collar .... good looking jacket .... available in yellow with black and gre accents or red and black ....

Should run you about $79.00 each ..... follow their site and it will direct you to a vender who has them.

i just bought 4 of them through www.defender.com great customer service and easy shipping.

Good luck ....

You can buy 2 good ones, and 3 cheap ones. Unless you always carry 5 people.

Good point.

It's O.K. to buy the best you can afford! Just remember you have to have Coast Guard Approved life jackets for everyone on board no matter what you choose.

The point is any comfortable wearable jacket is going to be better than buying a 4 pack bag of Orange vests stuffed up into the cabin.
