Call Wiggler, gramps, leiles, boonville etc,etc,etc. He can HOOK you up like no other on Lifelines.

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?

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.
The rules with safety in a race is even more harsh then the regular costguard rules.
Think about it.
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.
