What is the speed rating on this vest is it suitable for jet ski use?

We purchased size small. We have not used it for jet ski, but it says inside "Intended use: water ski, wakeboard and PWC vest". Below that it says "Strength tested at 50 mph (2.4 m/s) - not tested for personal protection from impact."

I don't think that this is the vest for you then. It's perfect for over a thermal, but an insulated jacket may be a bit much. Also, it will flop around too much if not fastened on the sides.

No, in fact this is more of a for looks speedo than for function.. It is very inaccurate. Its all plastic and cheap.

Go by the charts on the NeoSport website. Sizes seem fairly accurate to me. I only use for kayaking, though.

I just bought this vest for use with my Glidecam HD-2000. Ask this question again in a week, and I'll let you know.

Pretty fast compared to its size. We run it in a 32 ft. pool and it is a lot of fun. Get the helicopter and can do air ,sea rescues.

I would say so. I holds at 100plus mph on my bike through rain. Check with go pro there are a lot of videos of surferS

Jennifer.........It's good to 135'. We have used it for diving and it works perfectly. Would suggest not storing it with the seal installed in the groove, but loose, so it doesn't stretch. Then be sure you clean and lube the seal before each use. Comes with good instructions, so shouldn't be an issue. Also make sure you set the camera for underwater shooting.

Honestly I don't know because when I bought it I had knee surgery. Meaning that I never used it and it is still brand new. All I can say is it is suppose to withstand at least a 90MPH fast ball. If that is the case then it can hold true to a 10MPH fist. Are you interested in purchasing it?

I have no way of testing actual true speed, but I'm sure it will travel at the advertised 25 MPH. It is FAST and tons of fun to drive. Mine has been flipped once but it is very good and stable if and when driven properly. I am only a beginner to intermediate at running fast boats and my Whiplash 24 is the most boat for the money of the five boats I have. Don't hesitate to buy!!!

All of the documentation I have found online states water resistant.Which usually means as long as you aren't diving with it you should be ok. My concern though would be the optical sensor on the back used for measuring heart rate. I personally would not swim with it on.

Its claims for up to 60mph, this is probably close to accurate thoug I have never put a speed gun on it

Well out of the box it is quick about 30mph but I installed the velineon system and mine tops out at 58.6, so yes it is fast and it is fully waterproof. Mine has been submerged fully before and still works like new. Great bang for your buck

I am not sure what % but it is flexible and I would think a good suit for water aerobics...I thought of using it for the same but so far have only used in the ocean. It is probably the right thickness because when you go to higher, say 2mm and 3mm the suits are generally less flexible with increasing thickness. This one is nice and thin and I use it in the summer when the water is between ~68-72F for surfing, skin diving, and boogey boarding. I like to be warm and also prevent sunburn so this works well. If I get cold the next time I am in the indoor pool, this is the suit I would use - not a 2 or 3mm suit.

it is a very god piece of gear. very waterproof yet breathable. always test your equipment and it you do have doubts pick up a waterproofing spray.

I really don't know. I only use it at a quiet small lake. I would not want to risk itin swift moving water. Better to use a hard shell kayak.

i don't think it's a CE RATED motorcycle armor, since i did not see any approved tags on the armor. this armor is the cheapest you can buy for decent quality. get a size larger than the usual size you wear since the sizing chart is not true. i use this armor with the EVS neck brace and the FX-39 helmet and the FOX Launch Knee/Shin Pad when i ride my electric mountain bike that can go as fast as 70 Km/h. any type of protection that you wear while riding will reduce the injuries if ever you get into a bike crash. hope that info helped you. sincerely, Steve.
