A limited run, wrapped in forty years of Jetpilot logos.

A rider favourite is back for the anniversary. The Nighthawk returns as a side-entry vest for wake and jet ski, and this Red colourway is approved to Australian Standard AS 4758 Level 50: the high-vis level some states require on a ski beyond smooth water, including Queensland in partially smooth and open water.

Built for: wake and jet ski, both.
Best for: high-vis riders who want a close, low-profile fit. New to vests? The Cause or Freeride is the easier first buy.

  • Seen in the chop: high-vis red, Level 50
  • Clean front: the zip runs down your side, not your chest
  • Flexible: Freelite bevelled-edge foam moves with you
  • Close, tapered cut: ultra-tapered waist, YKK Lok zip and belt buckle
  • 40 years on the sides and back: sublimated Jetpilot logos from four decades, plus a logo stack down the spine

Nighthawke Life Jacket Series

To mark 40 years of Jetpilot, the Nighthawke Series is back! A limited collector's piece for riders who push their limits. Made for both PWC and Wake and wrapped in an exclusive heritage yardage print featuring a Jetpilot logo evolution across four decades, this vest is as much history as it is performance gear. Engineered with the same side-entry, tapered, low-profile fit that defines the Nighthawke, this anniversary edition carries the brand's technical progression into every ride.

Side Entry

Clean Front. Close Fit.

The zip runs down your side, not the middle of your chest, so the front is one smooth panel that hugs your body. That keeps the vest slim and gives your shoulders and core more room when you're reaching for the bars or the handle.

What Hits Different

Four Decades of Logos

The side and back panels carry a sublimated repeat of Jetpilot logos from the last 40 years, a Jetpilot logo stack runs down the spine, and the chest badge layers the retro script over today's wordmark. An anniversary piece you'll actually ride in.

Lighter EcoPrene

Jetpilot's lighter alternative to traditional neoprene: 30% lighter, soft on the skin and tough where it counts.

Foam That Bends

Freelite buoyancy foam is cut into segmented panels with bevelled (angled) edges, so the vest follows your body when you twist and lean instead of fighting it.

    Race vest

    Awesome vest! Light weight and comfortable. Almost feels like you’re not wearing it. Wore it for the opening race in WA. Looks amazing in pics and so comfortable. Definitely recommend!

    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!
