JetPilot L.R.E. Helmsman Neo CGA Vest
- The JetPilot L.R.E. Helmsman Neoprene CGA Vest is the pinnacle product in our new Live.Ride.Escape (LRE) division.
- This vest was designed with all the bells and whistles (literally) and will suit all your needs for fishing, paddling, full-day tours, or an afternoon ride.
YKK SELF LOCKING ZIP
- YKK premium zippers won’t break or lock up, seizing the zip head and cause you headaches when you’re just trying to have FUN. The zipper teeth are coated with high-strength, UV-treated plastic to increase durability.
INTERNAL DUAL BUCKLE DESIGN
- This USCG-approved type 3 vest has 2 buckles and a front zip. Internal or enclosed straps reduce the potential for twisting, snags, or tangles and provide a clean look.
MULTI-USE POCKETS & D-RING
- 3 multi use pockets to easily store your gear. Attach your safety lanyard to this D ring located on the external waist.
FLEX-LITE NEOPRENE
- Flex-lite is insanely flexible, soft, and lightweight, in fact it’s the best we can find. The jersey is extremely soft and smooth while the internal foam is lightweight and holds less water than other foams.
CO-PILOT SIDE GRAB AND SHOULDER GRAB HANDLES
- Side handles provide security to your passenger while the shoulder grab handles can be used as safety handles when rescuing a rider in distress.
BUILT-IN WHISTLE
- The Whistle is attached with a lanyard and secured in a pocket on the wearer’s right side. This is a great safety feature to alert other riders or as a signal in distress.
REMOVABLE ACTION CAMERA MOUNT
- Attach your Action Camera to provide evidence of the marlin your reeling in or your speed shot through the channel.
- ( Camera Not Included )
ADJUSTABLE VELCRO STRAP AND CLIP LOOP
- A UHF or VHF radio strap for easy access during long rides.
Selecting the appropriate size for a Coast Guard-approved life vest
- It’s important to measure the widest part of the chest or stomach while sitting down.
- This ensures that the life vest fits properly and won’t ride up or slip off in the water.
- It’s important to note that life vest sizes may differ from typical clothing sizes.
- So it’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s sizing chart or guidelines when making a purchase.
*** Choosing a life vest based on personal preferences for tight or loose fit can compromise its effectiveness in keeping the wearer safe.
***Remember, wearing a properly fitting life vest is essential for staying safe while enjoying water sports and other activities on or near the water.

XXL is tight fitting, I wear 2xl in all my other vests no issues, this was definitely too small

I bought the L.R.E. Helmsman Neoprene CGA Vest to use for fishing. It had all of the features I was looking for. I liked that it had chest pockets and D-Rings to clip items to. I clipped my Garmin InReach Mini to one of those D-Rings. The stitching ripped out and my $399 Garmin is gone forever.The quality of the material is terrible. The stitching is terrible. The fabric rips easily. I would never recommend one of their products to anyone. What happens if you fall off your PWC at speed and the stitching that holds your vest together rips out and you fall out of your vest? You could drown.I was refunded for the jacket by Amazon.Customer support at Jet Pilot told me to contact Jet Pilot via Amazon about my lost Garmin which isn’t possible. I am stuck at this point. I can only help others to not make the same mistake by buying this company’s products.
