Lifeline Vests

[franky]

Who has the deal on Lifeline vests? Thanks.

[Cs19]

Lifeline in Parker Az.
I got my chute jacket used from them at a good price.
What kind of jacket do you want? Racing jacket or one for the river?

[franky]

Racing on the river.

[Cs19]

Oh I thought you were "steppin up to the plate" and lookin for a chute jacket so you could come play at Ming..Guess not. :(
Lifeline has some nice poker run or river racer jackets.
Since your out there, maybe just stop in to Lifeline and talk to the old man, he will dial you in.
Happy New Year..

Chris, I just went to ebay (lifeline vest) and saw the two types. I am 48 years old and only have 2 lifes left. I do not see Ming in my future but you never know, that disease thing, just want the right equipment to provide for staying alive, thats all.

Put up some links Franky.
I dont know the details on the different jackets, you will have to put a call into lifeline for that..What do i look like? A friggin Lifeline catalog? :wink:
considering what you plan to do with the boat, and how SLOW its gonna be I would think a river race or poker run jacket would be fine. the full on race jackets have the leg restraints and all that stuff, I dont think youd like that stuff being old and and everything.
I like HBjets race jacket its trick.1992 costco special water skiiing jacket with like one frayed strap left on it.

I plan on getting a Life Line standard jacket (no chute) It is certified and can be used at lake ming. My boat is not real fast, so I feel safe in it.

if you can afford it go for the chute jackets.they do work at the njba april race my teamate crashed the blown alcohol flat and without the chute he would have been exactly where the boat landed instead came to a stop before the lannded and hit the water.I drove the slower of the 2 boats and had the chute also.(helped that my boss bought it though)but he insisted i have the best availible you can get a new one for 750 black with red trim.also you can talk to bill at lifeline and see what he recomends for your kind of use or mph

[franky]

Thanks, so the difference is chute or no chute?
Chris, just go to e-bay, search "lifeline vests"
Watch with the age thing :lightsabe

[franky]

XL relates to what chest size? Where are you located? How old?

[franky]

California is a big state, can you be a little more specific so I can figure out logistics. How old is it please.

ya know franky, if you're in lhc, you could just take 15 minutes, drive down 95 to parker and visit ol bill on kofa avenue at the lifeline store. that's where they make 'em, certify 'em, ship 'em, all that jazz....
