Life Vests

Life vests are designed to keep you safe when spending time out on the water. Made carefully with precision, a quality life vest works as a floating device and will keep your head above water. This comes as particularly helpful in case of an accident, or in cases where people are not entirely confident in their swimming ability. In fact, a life vest can save you in an emergency situation—and due to their revolutionary technology, they’re often recognized as a requirement to enjoy any watersport activity.

For wakeboarders, wake surfers, and water skiers’, life vests are made with more padding to help keep the rider more protected from harder impacts, while also keeping them floating above the water surface. When purchasing a life vest for these activities, it’s essential to ensure the vest fits properly. Life vests are designed to fit comfortably and give the riders a broad range of motion.

For more advanced riders, we recommend a high-quality competition vest. While comfortable and secure, it’s important to know these are not Coast Guard approved vests, as they do not offer the same amount of flotation compared to life vests. Competition vests allow more advanced riders to have more comfort and an even higher range of motion allowing them the to try more advanced trips. Check out our Water Gear Guides for more information on how to choose a wakeboard vest. Our Adventure Resource Guide is full of great information to help you prepare for your next adventure!

Our collection of life vests come in all different shapes and sizes. Sun & Ski offers multiple well-known brands in the water sports industry like HO Sports, Ronix, Connelly, O’Neill, Hyperlite, Liquid Force, Body Glove, and more!

At Sun & Ski, our Mission is to provide our customers with an elevated shopping experience so you can be ready for your adventure. We work diligently to give our customers excellent customer service. When you spend $50+ on online orders, we offer FREE SHIPPING.

How do I choose the right size life vest or PFD?
Life vests are sized based on chest measurements, not just your clothing size. To get the best fit, measure around the fullest part of your chest and use the size chart provided for each product. At Sun & Ski Sports, each life vest product page includes detailed sizing info to help you pick the right fit the first time.
How should a life vest fit for safety and comfort?
properly fitting life vest should feel snug but not restrictive. When zipped or buckled, it shouldn’t ride up over your chin or face when you raise your arms or are in the water. Adjustable straps help dial in the fit. Try your vest on over swimwear or light layers for the most accurate sizing.
Are there different sizing considerations for kids' life vests?
Yes. Youth and child life vests are sized by weight and chest size. Be sure to check the label or product description for specific weight ranges (e.g., 30–50 lbs or 50–90 lbs). Choosing the correct weight range ensures proper buoyancy and safety in the water.
What if I’m between sizes—should I size up or down?
If you’re between sizes, choose the size that most closely matches your chest measurement and look for a vest with adjustable straps for flexibility. At Sun & Ski Sports, many vests offer multiple points of adjustment to accommodate in-between sizes and minimize the need for returns.
Can I avoid returns by checking the fit before using it in water?
Absolutely. Try your life vest on dry and test the fit by mimicking paddling or swimming motions. Ensure there’s no excessive movement or gaps. Avoid getting the vest wet if you might need to exchange it—Sun & Ski Sports makes it easy to return or exchange unused items with tags still attached.
Are there different life vests for different water activities?
Yes. Sun & Ski Sports offers vests for wakeboarding, waterskiing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and general boating. High-performance vests often have a more athletic cut, while recreational models may be roomier. Read product descriptions to choose a vest that matches your activity for best performance and fit.
