Connelly Team Comp Life Vest

No, this is a competition-style impact vest and is not US Coast Guard-approved. It is designed specifically for high-intensity watersports like wakeboarding and cable park riding where mobility is the priority over maximum flotation.

Because this is a competition vest, it features a much closer, athletic fit than a standard PFD. The 4-way stretch neoprene and low-profile foam are designed to contour to your body, so it should feel snug and secure without the bulk of traditional straps.

This vest provides minimal buoyancy compared to a standard life jacket. It is primarily built to offer impact protection during falls, so it is intended for confident swimmers who are comfortable in the water.

The GlideSkin panels are designed to reduce drag and shed water quickly. This helps keep the vest lightweight and streamlined, which is essential when you are performing technical maneuvers or riding at higher speeds.

This vest is best suited for intermediate to advanced riders who need maximum range of motion for tricks and maneuvers. If you are a beginner looking for safety and reliable buoyancy, you should look for a USCG-approved life jacket instead.
