Lifeline jackets
 
I need a few Lifeline poker run jackets fairly quick. Does anyone stock them? Where is the quickest place to get them.

Trick?

LubeJobs42 08-07-2007 10:16 PM

I was hoping to find a stocking dealer. Don't want to get into ordering them.

OL40SVX 08-07-2007 10:39 PM

Gino, try calling Life Line direct. They may some in stock that can ship you. Thats how I got mine.

I just ordered six jackets through Tres Martin Performance and they arrived in just under a week. It was cheaper to order them that way than to order direct from Life Line.

But...they save your life !!! Standard orange coast guard approved vests help when you fall overboard to keep you afloat......Life Lines are your BEST insurance of a jacket staying on you in the event of being tossed out of a boat at high speed or falling overboard !!! The little self inflateing suspenders are only good for self insurance. They will do nothing in a high speed toss out, they are simply sail boaters stuff. You can be pretty sure the orange coast guard approved vest you buy at Walmart, etc... will be torn off of you in a high speed toss out !!!!

I also am a dealer for Lifeline if you need a price. Dave

Just curious, has anyone been given a hard time over Lifelines not being USCG approved? I'd hope that as much as some marine patrols can be real SOBs, they don't actually check for a label, and they wouldn't argue too hard against the Lifeline.

I just bought 2 of these. For the money you cannot beat them.

Sure will, just make sure you carry some of the $2 orange ones with you that are CG approved or they will write you a nice ticket. They hit us last summer.

I have six Lifeline ballistic style race jackets. I have been using Lifelines for 18+ years and I am a believer in the product for HP use. What is keeping the Coast Guard form approving these vest or Lifeline from adjusting their product to conform to the CG standards?

Spine Tingler 08-08-2007 02:21 PM

Gino- Looks like your thread has officially been hijacked!

rumpshaker 08-08-2007 03:15 PM

I think it has something to do with with the fact that most LifeLines are custom jackets, and in order to get CG certification every style of jacket you sell must be tested for confirmation.
My understanding is that are just too many variations of a LifeLine to make it cost effective to test everyone ...

What size and color. I can check with Lifeline to see what's on their trailer.

Gino,
Call them direct. My wife got me a gift cert for a full custom jacket for my birthday and I figured I would just stop in as the factory is only 45 minutes away. Glad I did. I talked with the owner who is an increadible supporter of all kinds of boating (Shows up at an impressive amount of events to make sure racers have on hand safety equiptment). It was a great experiance to look at the pictures and get some of the stories. I picked out a vest and had the colors set within 15 minutes and look forward to picking it up within the week.
Again, great people to deal with. I only question why my wife origonally ordered it with bricks and lead lining? Do you think I should be worried?

I had to dig out my little orange ones a couple of weeks ago. USCG wouldn't approve my lifelines. Strictly by the book.
