Appears not to be.

When I bought my Lifelines, My GF said why spend that kind of money on a life jacket. I'm worth more that the cost of the jackets and she is too. After she put hers on the first time, she wont wear anything else. I boughtthe suspender type first and still keep them on board for guests.

If they are so good why aren't they cost guard approved?

Buy Lifelines or risk your life and the life of your passengers.

I'll make sure you get invited. I don't know if you are aware of this but defending your country isn't the greatest paying job.

I respect anyone who serves his (my) country but you don't wear cotton helmets on foot patrol for a reason.

Because they are racing life jackets and not simple ferry boat under seat units........ which are Coast Guard approved. When the government standards on anything are worth a d*mn we can continue this debate.

If the lifeline Vest would not meet atleast the costgard standart,they would not alow them for racing.:eek:
The rules with safety in a race is even more harsh then the regular costguard rules.
Think about it.:rolleyes:
And acctualy i think they are CG.-certified.

It still doesn't make sense (I am not trying to argue with you). Cost of the jackets aside, would I get hassled by someone if I only had the lifeline jackets onboard?

I went to Dick's sporting goods and got 4 life jackets that are USCG approved for $100. They look pretty good and feel sturdy.
