About the Freeride Boys Life Jacket

Contoured for young riders, so it stays snug through every set.

The Freeride Boys has a contoured fit for young riders, larger back panels and added flex that adapts to different body types, with a waist buckle and YKK zip to pull it snug. Pick the size that matches his weight today, not one he'll grow into. Thin stitch-through foam and a light EcoPrene shell keep it comfortable.

The Fit

Contoured Fit
Shaped for young riders, with added flex that adapts to different body types and stitch-through foam that keeps the vest thin, so it moves with him.

Tight Fit = Safe Fit
A kid's vest should feel snug when it's dry. Too loose, and it can ride up over his chin in the water.

Pick the size he is now
Lifejackets are sized by weight. Choose the size that matches his weight today, not the one he'll grow into next summer: a vest that's too big can ride up.

8: 26–40 kg, 80 cm chest
10: 26–40 kg, 85 cm chest
12: 40–50 kg, 90 cm chest
14: 50–60 kg, 95 cm chest

Check it on him
Zip it, clip the buckle and lift the vest at the shoulders: it shouldn't ride up past his chin or ears.

Tested. Trusted. Australian Certified.

Approved to Australian Standard AS 4758, Level 50S: the special-purpose level for watersports like wakeboarding. Same float as Level 50, in any colour.

When he's towed
Every state except WA requires an approved lifejacket when you're towed, and Level 50S is accepted in all of them. WA recommends one, and requires it for slalom. Every state and the NT also require an observer in the boat.

Kids on boats
Several states have extra lifejacket rules for children on smaller boats, and the ages and boat sizes differ, so check your state's rules before you head out.

Check your state
Our wake vest guide lists what each state asks of a towed rider.

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 he rides, and replace it if it's torn, crushed or badly faded.

Questions riders ask

What size do I need?

Go by your child's weight, not their age, and pick the size that fits them now: a vest that's too big can ride up over their chin. Match their weight and chest to the chart under Find my size. Sizes run 8 to 14, and the S26 boys' vest goes to 16.

Do kids need a lifejacket when they're towed?

Every state except WA requires an approved lifejacket when you're towed, and Level 50S is accepted in all of them. WA recommends one, and requires it for slalom. Check your state's rules before you head out.

Freeride or Cause Kids?

The Freeride is the wake vest: stitch-through foam keeps it thin, and it's shaped for young riders so it moves with them on the board. The Cause Kids is the boat-day vest: a relaxed fit, a front zip and two buckles, and a crotch strap on the smaller sizes, from 15 kg. See our kids' life jackets.

Kids Freeride Life Jacket Series

Made from Jetpilot’s Ecoprene - a 30% lighter alternative to traditional neoprene crafted from recycled plastic bottles. With a contoured fit, diagonal segmentation, and larger back panels for extra protection, it’s designed to move with the body while offering comfort and security. The stitch-through construction creates a slimmer profile, while added flex makes it adaptable across different body types. Fully L50s Australian Standard approved, Kids Freeride is the safe, versatile choice for wakeboarding, wakesurfing, or just cruising on the water.

Made With

Ecoprene

Ecoprene is our next-gen material crafted from recycled plastic bottles - lightweight, ultra-soft, and tough where it counts. It delivers long-lasting comfort without sacrificing strength, and just like traditional neoprene, it’s water-resistant and ready for the elements.
