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 have a Mastercraft Prostar 190 inboard ski boat. Top speed is 47mph and it works great at all speeds.

Im 6'1" 200lbs man, the belt on it reaches where a normal belt would fit on your pants. whould it protect from a cow or bull? uhhh no. this is a tactical mounting vest, made to mount pouches and equipment on it, not to protect from blows. despite the hollywood looks, its not a "bulletproof" vest. search surplus stores or google for flak jackets. old vietnam era flaks are heavier and are thickly padded.

If you can fit it physically onto your board i dont see why not, its a pretty strong grip, so much that i even used it on my ATV using the inner strap to strap/clamp it to my handlebars pretty tight, i dont see why i wont use it on my jetski when it comes time, but be aware if it does come off the gopro floaty barely keeps the gopro alone afloat, let alone the gopro AND any mounts attached...

I found this youtube review, it's safer to use down to 50 feet, but these guys took it down to 130 feet and was still working. I would say to use caution, perhaps it's ok at 130 feet for a few seconds. If you want something for diving, it's always advisable to buy something that has a specific waterproof housing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN7LQvCZm8M

This fly fishing vest is only for gear not for safety,You should get a separate life jacket.i would get a larger size vest&where; your jacket under it.

This board is designed to hold any typical waterski rope. we use a basic body glove 75 foot standard rope. you simply start out with the handle in the clip, hit the throttle- but dont go too fast until the rider gets up on his knees and settled in and pulls up the strap- perhaps 15mph is good, then when the rider removes the handle into their hands you might speed up to say 22 mph depending on the rider.

If your vest is for suty use, I would say don't use this holster. The retention isn't good enough. It can't be set up for low ride either. I use a CR speed belt for IPSC and it is fine when I use my chest rig for carbine. I am not law inforcement, but this is what my law enforcement guys comment. I also don't use the paddle version. I use the belt loop version.

i used it for scuba diving, so even though there is no time limit, it was rarely in the water more than an hour at a time anyway, but some friends borrowed it for surfing and snorkeling. There was no problem. It's robust!

I purchased this vest to use while fishing from a boat. I like it because there is much less bulk than a regular life vest. The vest inflates itself when the red handle on the left is pulled. Although I have had no problems with mine, if I could not swim, I don't think I would bet my life on i

3mmGood enough for an 80< degree pool.I bought another one Speedo thermal wetsuit. Which I found after receipt that it is 1mm. I found it weird that the Speedo says thermal wetsuit while this says spring suit. Because this was way thicker and warmer, the speedo was really more like a spring suit and this a thermal suit. It's great quality. I have been washing it in washing machine delicate cycle every week with regular detergent for 6 months straight now. Still looks new. Still thick.

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.

No. The body of the vest is mesh, the rest of the vest is the solid floatation type material. It is an excellent vest, light weight and not bulky. My husband uses it for both kayaking and dragon boating.

you could try it. it is not waterproof. it is very comfortable. i like the front zipper. never was a fan of the zipper on back of the wetsuits i used while skiing and tubing altho i understand why. i use mine for hunting as a 2nd layer. i wear thermal underwear (long-johns) top and bottom and then this over that, generally. it worked well. i guess it would depend on your personal preference and if you want this suit directly against your skin

I have a 12 ft aluminum jon and with fishing gear a loaded down cooler and two people. I did a gps on the speed on a calm day and glass water it maxed out for me at 8 mph. Still faster than the electric trolling motor i was using.

It could definitely be used for skiing both with the head strap/helmet mount or the chesty mount as done by most of the team athletes. If you go any lower where it will be constantly exposed to the snow like on a ski or the side of a boot, you would want to keep it dry so the waterproof housing would be a better choice. Depends ultimately on whether or not it will be getting wet.
