Relaxed Fit
Cut with more room through the body than Jetpilot's tapered wake vests, and built with added flex so it adapts to a range of body types.

Tight Fit = Safe Fit
Relaxed doesn't mean loose. It should still feel tight when it's dry. It gives a little once it's wet, and 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: 100 cm chest, 40–60 kg
• M: 104 cm chest, 60–70 kg
• L: 108 cm chest, 70 kg+
• XL: 112 cm chest, 70 kg+
• 2XL: 116 cm chest, 70 kg+
• 3XL: 120 cm chest, 70 kg+

Between sizes? Try both. 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.

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 you'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. Every state and the NT also require an observer in the boat.

On boat days
Off the board, the Freeride also suits general boating. Check your state's level for your waterway and your craft.

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 you ride, and replace it if it's torn, crushed or badly faded.
