Womens Watersports

Womens watersports gear, built around the vest

The women's range is not the men's range with a pink option. It is the same foam, the same standard and the same handle, cut for her, then everything else you need for a day on the ski, behind the boat or on the tube: neoprene, rashies, gloves, goggles and the bag that keeps the phone dry. Start with the vest, because that is the piece the state has an opinion about, and build the rest around the day.

Life jackets, cut for women

Every vest here is approved to Australian Standard AS 4758, level on the product page. The Cause Ladies is the recreational PWC vest: segmented-fit neoprene, Freelite buoyancy foam and the Hidden Supergrip handle for hauling a passenger back onto the sled. Eden is the ladies PWC vest. X1 Ladies in Pacer, Luna and Isla are the wake vests, 100% 360 Stretch neoprene with Freelite bevelled-edge foam and an anatomical fit. Allure and Aurora are the wake and lifestyle vests, Aurora with the stitch-through thin-profile build. Most are Level 50S, the jet ski, wake and tow-sports level. The Level 50 colourways of the Cause Ladies and Eden are the same vest in high-vis, for riders who take the ski beyond smooth water in states that require it. Check your state in the Australian life jacket regulations guide, then pick the cut on womens life jackets.

Wetsuits, ride shorts and tour coats

The Flight 2X2 womens springsuit, long and short sleeve, and the Flight 3X2 ladies steamer cover the cold days in 360 Stretch neoprene with Jet-Loc seams and Jet-Tech knee pads; both are on womens wetsuits. For the rest of the season the crew builds it from separates: Corp neoprene shorts in 2.5, 5 and 7 inch lengths with high-waisted options, the Vault ladies neoprene short and the X1 1.5mm neoprene leggings on womens neoprene ride shorts, and the Corp Ladies 2mm Tour Coat over the top when the wind gets up on the run home.

Rashies and sun

The glare off the water burns twice. The Cause and Corp long sleeve rashies, the Corp hooded rashie for midday with no shade, the Corp hydro tees for over swimmers, the Pacer dri-fit tees rated UPF 50+, and the rash shirt and short sets for one decision on a boat day, all on womens rashies.

The rest of the kit

RX Vault Airlite and Rx Super Lite gloves for grip on the bars, Rx Heat Seeker gloves with 1mm neoprene fingers for the dawnie. Vault Vision race goggles, H2O frameless goggles and the Shield 2-in-1 sunnies and goggles for the chop and the glare. Hybrid Hydro Shoes for the ramp, the Venture hoodie towel for getting changed at the ramp, and Venture Dry Safe bags in 2L, 5L and 10L for the phone, the keys and the sunscreen.

Fit, on her terms

Ladies vests and neoprene run in numbered sizes 6 to 18 by style. Size the vest off a chest measurement and measure with the layers you ride in: rashie, shorts, springsuit. Buckle up on dry land and lift at the shoulders; past your ears and it is too big. Neoprene only works snug, so size the shorts and suits to the chart rather than up. A vest that rides up when you get flung is not doing its job, and neither is a springsuit full of cold water.
