The impact rating has to do with the speed, in theory, that you can hit / impact the water and the vest will stay intact and not tear off. Race style Lifelines are far different than the ones offered here. I have some very nice recreational vests I bought from Cabellas years ago to use when doing poker runs, 100 mph rating, full front zipper, three 2 1/2" wide chest straps that go full 360 around the vest, double crotch straps and a fairly substantial neck roll collar. Picked up five of these about ten years ago, if I remember they were about 79 - 89 dollars each. |

Well, it's not like I'm trying to sound cheap, but that's just stupid. That much coin for two life jackets, c'mon!!
Ya know, you can make anything, charge way-stupid amounts for it, and some bozo will buy it just because it IS expensive. I agree with you here Bird. If you are racing you spend the bucks for the real Lifeline Racing Vests, they don't really give you a choice. These here are a recreational version, cool for a Formula owner, but not Racing quality. If you want to play in style, be prepared to pay and smile. :D |

That sounds like an Axa-Quote!!
I believe the term would be an Axaonym or perhaps an Axaology. ( second "a" being silent of course in both cases ) |
