What is the speed rating on this vest is it suitable for jet ski use?
131832
We purchased size small. We have not used it for jet ski, but it says inside "Intended use: water ski, wakeboard and PWC vest". Below that it says "Strength tested at 50 mph (2.4 m/s) - not tested for personal protection from impact."

3mm Good enough for an 80&lt; degree pool. I bought another one Speedo thermal wetsuit. Which I found after receipt that it is 1mm. I found it weird that the Speedo says thermal wetsuit while this says spring suit. Because this was way thicker and warmer, the speedo was really more like a spring suit and this a thermal suit. It's great quality. I have been washing it in washing machine delicate cycle every week with regular detergent for 6 months straight now. Still looks new. Still thick.

All of the documentation I have found online states water resistant.Which usually means as long as you aren't diving with it you should be ok. My concern though would be the optical sensor on the back used for measuring heart rate. I personally would not swim with it on.

I'm not sure what it is rated, but it's def a light action rod. I love mine, perfect to pack into a bag and take anywhere there are fish!

Jennifer.........It's good to 135'. We have used it for diving and it works perfectly. Would suggest not storing it with the seal installed in the groove, but loose, so it doesn't stretch. Then be sure you clean and lube the seal before each use. Comes with good instructions, so shouldn't be an issue. Also make sure you set the camera for underwater shooting.

I found this youtube review, it's safer to use down to 50 feet, but these guys took it down to 130 feet and was still working. I would say to use caution, perhaps it's ok at 130 feet for a few seconds. If you want something for diving, it's always advisable to buy something that has a specific waterproof housing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN7LQvCZm8M

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of the Desert right now so it's being tested with the extreme heat, blowing sand, sweat, and dust. It's performed great so far. I have not been in the water w/ it yet. I am a scuba diver and it is guaranteed waterproof down to 33 feet so I will test it for you when I have the chance. It should work just fine. Just make sure you rinse it in fresh water if you take it into salt water. Salt water will destroy any metal over time.

It could definitely be used for skiing both with the head strap/helmet mount or the chesty mount as done by most of the team athletes. If you go any lower where it will be constantly exposed to the snow like on a ski or the side of a boot, you would want to keep it dry so the waterproof housing would be a better choice. Depends ultimately on whether or not it will be getting wet.

Waterproof might be a stretch, I would say water resistant or splash proof. Its a great radio for us as a backup on our large sailboat. Probably not a good choice on a kayak or jet ski.

Yes! This would definitely be a better (and lighter) choice for a triathlon, rather than a wetsuit! Good luck!

it is a very god piece of gear. very waterproof yet breathable. always test your equipment and it you do have doubts pick up a waterproofing spray.

I just bought this vest for use with my Glidecam HD-2000. Ask this question again in a week, and I'll let you know.

It depends if you have racing parts or if the jet-ski is stock mostly.If want more top speed it will decrease torque.

I don't think that this is the vest for you then. It's perfect for over a thermal, but an insulated jacket may be a bit much. Also, it will flop around too much if not fastened on the sides.

Didn't use it for skis but I did use it to transport three 8ft surfboards about 120 miles with no problem. Average speed of 70mph, it was a little loud but worked great

I would say excellent.. I bought it to possibly use on motorcycle, but my only use so far was with snowblower -1 degrees -20 with wind chill. Had goggles on as well nose underneath was a bit chilled at first but didnt notice much of anything by the time i was done.
