SALE life vests — previous-season and clearance models from Jetpilot, Rip Curl, Follow, Ronix and O’Neill. L50 and L50S in 50N buoyancy, mens, womens and kids. Plus dog life vests when in stock.
Why this collection exists. Life vests for towed water sports have minimum legal requirements (50N buoyancy, AS/NZS-compliant). Last season’s stock meets exactly the same standards as this year’s, so you can lock in a real saving on safety gear that hasn’t been compromised in any way. These prices are for previous-season stock that didn’t sell through at full price. What’s typically here. Mens vests — Jetpilot Helium Nylon, Vault Hyperflex, Phase Hyperflex, RX Vault Protech, Follow Tact, Rip Curl Dawn Patrol, O’Neill Nomad. Womens vests — Rip Curl Omega, Dawn Patrol, Dawn Patrol Pro, Ronix Coral and Muse, Follow Order 2. Kids vests — occasional previous-season listings (Rip Curl Dawn Patrol Girls is currently in stock). Dog life vests — Jetpilot and Follow dog life vests for boat dogs (not towed-sport rated; for on-deck and overboard safety). L50 vs L50S still applies on clearance. Identical buoyancy (50N), different water-type approval. L50 is for PWC use and open or partially smooth water and must be a high-vis safety colour. L50S is for smooth water (most lakes, rivers and dams) and can be any colour. Pick by where you ride, not by price. Fit doesn’t change because it’s on sale. Very snug when dry. Fasten both the zip AND the belt. Watch our How To Fit videos before requesting an exchange — clearance items have the same return policy as full-price, but most “doesn’t fit” issues are fit-technique, not sizing. Care doesn’t change either. Hand wash only. Never machine wash. Store away from heat and direct sun. Stock turns over fast on the popular sizes and colours — if you see your size, don’t wait.
Yes. AS/NZS certification for life vests is based on buoyancy and water-type approval — the standards don’t change year on year just because manufacturers refresh the graphics. A previous-season L50S is exactly as compliant as the current-season L50S. What you’re saving on is the year tag and the colourway, not the safety spec.
Clearance vests carry the same return policy as full-price gear — 60 days, new and unused, all tags on. The catch is that life vests are soft goods, so they can’t be returned in used condition (we can’t resell a used vest). Before you assume it doesn’t fit, watch our How To Fit videos — most “doesn’t fit” issues turn out to be technique, not sizing. A life vest should feel very snug when dry; it loosens once wet.
Identical buoyancy — both are 50N. Different water-type approval. L50 is for PWC use and open or partially smooth water and must be a high-vis safety colour. L50S is for smooth water only (most lakes, rivers and dams) and can be any colour. Neither is more buoyant than the other. Pick based on where you ride, not on price.
Previous-season stock. The model is being replaced (usually with minor graphic or colourway updates, occasionally with a small construction tweak), and we’re clearing the older stock to make room. Nothing to do with the safety spec — the AS/NZS certification is unchanged. If you don’t care about being on the current year’s colourway, this is where you save real money.
