LIFELINE HIGH PERFORMANCE JACKET


http://www.offshoreonlyclassifieds.c...o19265-en.html

650 Bucks used,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 900 bucks new!!!!!?????!!!!:eek:

That's insane.

Why spend that much Bird when a couple empty 12 packs and a roll of duct tape could float your arse.

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.

Lifeline jackets are $300 each from Trick without any customization.....I agree that is crazy but Lifeline jackets are a different breed!

They may be a different breed, but they look the exact same as any other jacket..and in this case, cheaper...The only reason why they can sell them for $300 is b/c idiots with a ton of money buy em for that! no offense

Lifelines have much higher impact ratings than any other jacket out there....something like 150mph......I figure all my limbs will be ripped off if I hit the water at that speed so who cares if the jacket comes apart too.

Well put .... ain't that the truth.....

God help you if you call Lifeline to the mat on the General Forum...
What makes up the impact rating? Is it that they have crotch straps? Just how different can the foam be, it's not like it's rocket science or anything.
Anybody that can sew a bimini can add crotch straps to a jacket. Glad my boat tops out at 65, and I rarely run more than 40-50mph.
Doesn't matter whether you spend $30 or $300, if it doesn't work, you won't be around to b!tch at the manufacturer :D

I think the impact rating is more to save your ribs and such, if you slam up against the dash, not the impact rating like ski vests that are rated not to come apart hitting at speeds. I think my vests are rated at 55 mph.
