Vests for wakeboarding?

Question

i am 4 11 and 85 pounds and wondering what would be a good vest that would last a couple of years and floats pretty well compared to for example a high end jet pilot

Answer 1

If you are looking for a life jacket for wakeboarding, I would recommend a Type III, the type recommended for water sports.

As far as the sizing...you need to figure that one out for yourself. Go to the store and try them on until you find one that fits comfortably. You need it to fit snugly, even if someone were trying to lift you up by the top of the arm holes (as the water would do if you fell in).

Also, for life jackets, I recommend bright colors...avoiding blue. You want to give yourself the best chance of being found if you fall in.

Be safe, have fun! :]
