Jetpilot Black Friday, the page it lands on every year

Black Friday lives here. Every year the reduced gear from the watersports and apparel ranges lands on this page while the sale runs, and every year the page is the same address, so bookmark it now and you will not be hunting for it in late November. What is included and how long it runs changes each year; the product pages are the source of truth while it is on. The rest of the year, this is the shortlist page.

What this page is for

Two jobs. While the sale is on, it is the one place to see everything Jetpilot has marked down for Black Friday: life jackets, wetsuits and race jackets, tees, hoodies and jackets, boardies and walkshorts, gloves, towels and bags. The rest of the year it is where you build the list: the vest in the colourway you want, the wetsuit for winter, the esky for the crew. Size it now from the size guide, and when the page turns you are buying instead of measuring.

Life jackets on Black Friday

The standard on the label does not know what day it is. A vest reduced for Black Friday is approved to Australian Standard AS 4758 exactly like the one at full price, with the level on the product page: Level 50S, the jet ski, wake and tow vest and the minimum on a PWC in every state, or high-vis Level 50 for riders who take the ski beyond smooth water where the state requires it. Check your state in the Australian life jacket regulations guide. If you are riding before the sale, buy the vest that fits now and let Black Friday be the bonus; the full range at every level is on life jackets.

The esky, the wetsuit and the ski kit

The Venture Soft Esky is the esky in the range and it lives on eskies and coolers year-round, sale or no sale. Wetsuits mean race johns, race jackets, neo pants and tour coats in 360 Stretch neoprene, the pieces you buy for the cold months, and the ski kit means gloves, goggles, dry bags and the rest of the footwell. When any of it is reduced for Black Friday, it shows here.

Sizing before it sells through

Sale sizes are whatever is left, so the size guide is the first stop, not the last. Vests size off the chest with the layer you ride in; a wetsuit bought a size up because it was the one on the page is a wetsuit that lets the water in. Do the buckle test on dry land: lift at the shoulders, and past your ears it is too big, whatever the tag says.

The rest of the year

Between Black Fridays the reduced gear sits on the Jetpilot sale and outlet page, which is the same idea with less of a queue. Sorted.
