Helium size guide

Your measurements

Size chart

How to measure

Chest

Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms. Keep it level across your back and comfortably loose.

Weight

Weigh yourself, then check you sit inside the weight range for that size.

How the Helium fits Three-Buckle Fit

Three buckles across the front do it up and let you adjust the fit across your chest.

Check the fit

The lift test

Zip it, clip the buckle and get a mate to lift it at the shoulders: it shouldn't ride up past your chin or ears.

Tight fit = safe fit

It should feel snug when it's dry. It settles in once it's wet, and a loose vest can ride up or slip off when you hit the water.

Between two sizes?

The Fit

Three-Buckle Fit
Three buckles across the front do it up and let you adjust the fit across your chest.

Tight Fit = Safe Fit
Snug it up so it can't shift. A loose vest can ride up or slip off when you hit the water.

Find your size
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms, then check your weight:

S/M: 84–104 cm chest, 60–70 kg
L/XL: 104–124 cm chest, 70 kg+
2XL: 124–135 cm chest, 70 kg+
3XL: 135–145 cm chest, 70 kg+

Between sizes? Try both on over whatever you ride in. Clip all three buckles and get a mate to lift it at the shoulders: it shouldn't ride up past your chin or ears.

Tested. Trusted. Australian Certified.

Approved to Australian Standard AS 4758 Level 50. Level 50 comes in high-vis colours, and the orange across the shoulders makes you easier to spot.

On the ski
Level 50 is accepted on a jet ski on smooth and enclosed water (rivers, lakes, dams and sheltered bays) in every state, and it's the level Queensland requires on a jet ski in partially smooth and open water. Tasmania requires Level 100 or above beyond sheltered water.

Check your state
Our jet ski life jacket guide covers each state's rules.

Look after it
Rinse it in fresh water after every sesh, dry it out of the sun, keep it away from fuel and store it hung up, not crushed under the esky. Check the buckles, straps and foam before you ride, and replace it if it's torn, crushed or badly faded.

Questions riders ask

What size do I need?

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms, then check your weight against the chart in The Fit: it comes in S/M, L/XL, 2XL and 3XL. Three buckles across the front let you tighten it, so snug it up until it can't shift.

Is it neoprene?

No. The shell is 100% nylon, a light, easy-care fabric, over approved Freelite buoyancy foam.

Can a passenger hold on?

Yes. Supergrip handles sit on each side for a passenger.

Is this vest legal on a jet ski in my state?

This colourway is Level 50, approved to Australian Standard AS 4758. Level 50S is accepted on a jet ski on smooth and enclosed water (rivers, lakes, dams and sheltered bays) in every state. Queensland requires Level 50 once you're past smooth water, and Tasmania requires Level 100 or above beyond sheltered water. Rules change by state, so check yours before you launch. Our guide covers each state.

What's the difference between Level 50 and Level 50S?

They float the same. Level 50 comes in high-vis colours, so you're easier to spot, and it's the one Queensland requires past smooth water. Level 50S comes in every other colour and is the ski, wake and tow vest on smooth water in every state. Neither will turn you face-up on its own, so both are for riders who can swim, with help close by.

Is this an impact vest?

No. It's a lifejacket, approved to AS 4758 and tested to keep you afloat. An impact vest without an AS 4758 level mark isn't a lifejacket, so it doesn't count where one is required on the ski or behind the boat.

What if the size is wrong?

Swap it or send it back for a refund within 21 days of purchase. Sale items are the exception. Returns and exchanges has the steps.

How do I look after it?

Rinse it in fresh water after every sesh, dry it out of the sun, keep it away from fuel and store it hung up, not crushed under the esky. Check the zip, buckle and foam before you ride, and replace it if it's torn, crushed or badly faded.

Amazing life jacket
Loving the feel of this life jacket. Very snug fit. All the space for radio, e-pirb and little toggles for clipping on the key when I’m on the JetSki. Absolutely love it.

Comfortable but
Tight, when I held it next to my other XL life jacket this was more like a large so it is quite snug. Other than that, worn it once - nice & light, and the love/ grab handles are great!
