Vault Pro-Tech 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 Vault Pro-Tech fits Anatomical Race Fit

Shaped for PWC riders, so it stays put through hard cornering without restricting your arms on the bars. Try it on with the back brace in.

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.

The Fit

Anatomical Race Fit
Shaped for PWC riders, so it stays put through hard cornering without restricting your arms on the bars. Try it on with the back brace in.

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: 95 cm chest, 40–60 kg
M: 100 cm chest, 60–70 kg
L: 105 cm chest, 70 kg+
XL: 110 cm chest, 70 kg+
2XL: 115 cm chest, 70 kg+
3XL: 120 cm chest, 70 kg+

Between sizes? Try both on over whatever you race in. 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.

Tested. Trusted. Australian Certified.

Approved to Australian Standard AS 4758 Level 50S, and ISO approved.

On the ski
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 on a jet ski in partially smooth and open water, and Tasmania requires Level 100 or above beyond sheltered water.

Race day
Check your event's rules for the lifejacket standard and back protection it asks for.

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 zip, buckle, foam and back brace before you ride, and replace it if it's torn, crushed or badly faded.

Questions riders ask

Is this an impact vest?

It's a lifejacket first: approved to Australian Standard AS 4758 Level 50S, with a built-in, removable Pro-Tech back brace that's CE approved. An impact vest without an AS 4758 level mark isn't a lifejacket, so it doesn't count where one is required.

Can I take the back brace out?

Yes, the Pro-Tech back brace is removable. When you check your size, try the vest on with the brace in.

What size do I need?

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms, and match it to the chart under Find my size (S to 3XL). It's an anatomical race fit, shaped for riders on the bars: snug it up so it can't shift, with the back brace in.

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

This colourway is Level 50S, 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.

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.

Vault Life Jacket Series

The Vault Series is Jetpilot’s race and performance-driven collection, trusted by pro athletes and world champion riders who demand maximum safety on the water. Designed for PWC racing and high-intensity riding, the range delivers advanced protection, streamlined fits, and Ecoprene construction. With models tailored for both competition and recreation, Vault sets the standard for riders who want pro-level confidence, performance, and safety every time they hit the water.

Jetpilot Australia | Pro TechFeature Yellow

Built-In Race Protection

The Pro-Tech removable back brace system in the Jetpilot Vault Pro-Tech Life Jacket is engineered for serious protection on the water. Certified to CE Level 2, it doubles the level of impact defence by reducing transmitted forces to under 9kN - half the maximum allowed under Level 1 standards. Instead of absorbing impact, the system deflects and diffuses energy along reinforced plates, spreading the force to minimise direct hits to the spine. Crafted with dual-layer foam construction and an exoskeleton shell, it flexes with your movement while forming a resilient shield against high-speed crashes. Built into the vest but fully removable, it gives riders the choice between maximum race-day protection and everyday comfort, making it a versatile safeguard trusted by world-class PWC athletes.

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!
