What is the speed rating on this vest is it suitable for jet ski use?

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."

Lifetrak states it is water resistant to 30 meters. I have not worn mine in the water so no first hand experience.

Go by the charts on the NeoSport website. Sizes seem fairly accurate to me. I only use for kayaking, though.

I have a few. It's not the most heavy duty of them. The seems are not double stitched and the leather is not quite as thick as the others. I think it would take at least one good slide. I got a good deal on it ,it looks good, it's comfortable (make sure you buy one size up) and I use it on days that are above 50 degrees. If you plan on going down at 80 mph you might want something else.

The recreational depth limit is 40m/130 ft. Unless you're doing technical diving, you wouldn't need a rating past 40m.

Pretty fast compared to its size. We run it in a 32 ft. pool and it is a lot of fun. Get the helicopter and can do air ,sea rescues.

Hi Don,I have a Sea doo and a Kawasaki jet ski. Both of these skis measure 10' and I bought these covers for both of them. They fit like a glove and are very well constructed. I would definitely recommend!

So this vest is definitely not for non-swimmer. While it provides outstanding flotation, at your finger tips, while snorkeling. There is a disclaimer on the inside of the vest, expressing that it should not be used as a PFD. Also, the darn thing rides up on you. You have to rig something to keep it down, especially when slightly inflated. That said, it does provide awesome flotation if you are snorkeling for a long time...

The jacket is highly adjustable. That said, it should adjust that much, I am 5'7" and weigh 210 Lb. I think that the adjustment is there. As for how the jacket reacts in the water I really can't say as I haven't been in the water with it on. I use it on my boat and thankfully haven't had to test that feature. I would think, for me, it would preform well as the fit is good. I can say that for a life vest it is fairly comfortable to wear.

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.

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 wear mine for kayaking and getting in the water with temperatures in the low 40's. I live in VA. I love the suit, just takes time to break it in with the right fit. You might be able got with a 3mm and 2mm sleeves. For the price I could not beat it.I hope this helped.

Not sure what the official speed rating is but it has small bicycle wheels, so my guess is no more than 25 mph on streets and 10 mph off road. It has no suspension and a canvas box and cover so I don't recommend use on overly rugged terrain at any speed.

3mmGood enough for an 80< 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.
