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 Venture fits Anatomical Fit, Refined by Riders

Shaped through rider feedback to stay comfortable through a full day on the ski. The PK Lok zip and waist buckle pull it snug, so it stays put when the pockets are loaded.

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 Fit, Refined by Riders
Shaped through rider feedback to stay comfortable through a full day on the ski. The PK Lok zip and waist buckle pull it snug, so it stays put when the pockets are loaded.

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.

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

S: 92 cm chest, 40–60 kg
M: 100 cm chest, 60–70 kg
L: 104 cm chest, 70 kg+
XL: 112 cm chest, 70 kg+
2XL: 118 cm chest, 70 kg+
3XL: 125 cm chest, 70 kg+
4XL: 145 cm chest, 70 kg+

Between sizes? Try both on over whatever you ride 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. The Red and Yellow are Level 50; the Black is Level 50S. They float the same; Level 50 comes in high-vis colours so you're easier to spot.

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.

Carrying a beacon
A personal locator beacon (PLB) lets you call for help if you and your ski get separated. The Venture's POV mount is adaptable to take an ACR PLB. Check your state's rules for the safety gear you need on the water you ride.

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, pockets included, 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.

Not the Right Fit? No Stress

We’ve got your back. If your new Jetpilot gear doesn’t fit right, isn’t what you expected, or turns up faulty, no stress - you can send it back or swap it out. You’ve got 21 days from purchase to return it, and we’ll sort you with a refund or exchange.

More info can be found here at returns & exchanges

Questions riders ask

What can I carry in it?

Two zip pockets keep your essentials zipped in and close at hand, and D-rings and webbing loops take the rest of your gear. A POV mount holds a camera on your chest, and the back pocket takes a hydration bladder through its hose port, so water's on tap (bladder sold separately).

Can I carry a personal locator beacon?

Yes. The POV camera mount adapts to take an ACR personal locator beacon, so it rides on your chest.

What's the difference between the Venture and the Venture Plus?

Both are touring and fishing vests with Hidden Supergrip handles, a POV mount and a hydration pocket. The Venture Plus adds a Fidlock pocket rated IPX8 for your phone, a belt with space for a beacon and two rear stash pockets, and it's cut straight with an inside belt. The Venture has two zip pockets and an anatomical fit. See the Venture Plus.

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.

What size do I need?

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms, then check your weight against the chart under Find my size. Snug when it's dry is right. It settles in once it's wet, and a loose vest can ride up or slip off when you hit the water. The test: zip it, clip the buckle and lift at the shoulders. If it rides up past your chin, it's too big.

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.

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!
