Life vests... cheap

[summertoy 0]

ordered 5 vests today thanks for the info

This is a great deal. Anyone have an idea of how the sizes run? I can't find a sizing chart and don't know if they tend to run small or not. Typically I'm a large in a standard jacket, but at 160#s I may want a medium wake vest. Any experienced Helium buyers? J

I have found them to run a little small in the past.

Saw this on WW, for those of you that haven't seen it... there are helium vests on sale. I picked up a comp one for $42, that included shipping & tax.

Thanks so much for this! Just ordered 2 for the kids, 1 for me and gloves for $116 shipped (and that included sales tax) - a great deal indeed.

Got ours yesterday!!! Great fit too! It is hard to find the right fit for the wife since she has a small waist and large breast! I am the opposite on fit, small breast and large waist! We go together like 6 and 9!!!

CS - which vest did you buy your wife? My wife is about to have the same "problem" as yours, so I am going to need to pick up a new vest for her.

Lakesurfer, goto a local shop and have her try some on, Hyperlite actually has some that have cups in the chest. We bought a small, medium and large womens and they all fit the girls we bought them for althought the girls were not setup to float without a life jacket on...

I got her the one that has 2 stars on the shoulder and the word Helium on the back. I do not know the model it was, but I got a large and it fits great.

Erika has tried the ones with the cup in them and she did not like the way they felt on her. But good idea to go and try some on first. I have an older Helium vest and she likes mine so therefore I got her one.

thanks. I have about 6 weeks to look around, but I thought the Helium deal was great so thought I might take a chance. Probably just going to wait until she can try a few on.

Cool... glad you were able to pick up a vest. I just got mine and it fit well - pretty true to its size... can't wait to ride with it.

 

We just got back from havasu... Not a great riding weekend (we got a couple decent runs in) but it was the poker run this weekend so it was pretty fun.

I usually wear 2xl so I measured my chest and it was right on for low 2xl ordered a 3xl and it fits perfect if I put it on over my head but I cant get it on by zipping it on, good vest and definitely worth the price.
