Flite Impact Vest

No, this vest is not USCG approved. It is designed specifically as an impact vest for high-performance water sports, offering protection and buoyancy rather than serving as a life-saving flotation device.

The Flite Impact Vest features a form-fitting, anatomical design that sits much closer to the body than a traditional, bulky life jacket. Because it uses 360-stretch neoprene, it is meant to move with you, providing a snug, secure fit that doesn't restrict your range of motion.

Yes, the vest includes two zippered pockets—one on the front and one on the back. These are designed for small essentials like keys or a whistle, though you should avoid carrying heavy or bulky items that might interfere with your comfort or mobility.

Not for long. The vest is constructed with a rapid-dry lining specifically designed to wick moisture away quickly, helping it dry faster than standard neoprene vests between sessions.

While it provides excellent impact protection, this vest is primarily engineered for riders who need maximum mobility during active sessions. If you are a beginner who requires a USCG-approved life jacket for safety compliance, you may need to look for a different, certified option.
