Life Jackets (Clearance)

Life Jackets

Level 100: these lifejackets also offer the best level of support and replace the old Type 1 jackets. They’re best used for near-shore activities and enclosed waters closer to shore where the water conditions tend to be calmer.

Level 50: these replace the old Type 2 jackets. Because they don’t offer any head support, they’re recommended for smooth waters and are mainly good for kayaking and personal watercrafts like jet skis.

Level 50S: these replace the old Type 3 jackets, and the ‘S’ stands for ‘Special Purpose’. These jackets don’t offer any head support and do not comply with colour requirements that make the wearer easier to spot in the water. Level 50S lifejackets should only be worn in smooth waters."

Keep in mind, lifejackets from Level 50 and below cannot be used as lifejackets on a boat because they don’t provide the appropriate level of support needed for harsher water conditions.
