Life Jacket Question
 
Gentleman -

What do you guys recommend for a life jacket for high speed pleasure boating, Poker Running, etc... ? It's probably time I invested in some real life jackets.

I know Life Line is the standard, but what model specifically? And where would you buy them? Teague Marine?

Thanks,

MDS

Right from Lifeline, great guy.

Expensive but the answer is in the name.... LIFEline...invested a lot of money in mine, and so have many other people, but we put irreplaceable items within them.

I run the sport vest.... can customize colors to suit your needs.

Great people at Lifeline.

They aren't USCG approved, though, so you still have to keep USCG PFD's on board for safety inspections.

Anyone using the aviator sit down version from lifeline?

I bought 4 for my family when we did poker runs.
They were very expensive, but they are the best.

We use the Mustang Elite Inflatable Automatic... Quite comfortable. Found them on an eBay store for a good price, new. Bought 5 or 6 at one time. Think we paid $195 a piece. Hard to put a price on safety when you're running 100 mph plus!!!

Lifeline was a pleasure to deal with , sent a jacket to them that was out of date and it came back like new ........they even put a wedding band in the box for me

Inflatables are for drunk fisherman falling off their boats. Not for high speed impact. I would go so far as to say they might be lethal with that belt wrapped around your body. Those orange five dollar jackets are a joke. Again could be lethal on a high speed impact. Poker Run Lifelines are the real deal.
