    I have only looked at the 5600 series.The quality looks to be good,but my choice is the stearns 4185org. Very comfortable.easy on-off.I like the collar.Only comes in orange but my boat is orange so all is good.

    when I bought mine I was able to find a statement that said tested to 90mph but I did not buy it because of the speed rating.I bought it because It had three two inch straps,a zipper,a padded collar,pockets,leg straps,It fit me well,and it seems to be made out of good stuff,and well put together.Ya I know it's far from being a life line,but I'm ok with that.BTW the heathen is right about a bucket of spit.A pos made in china could be speed rated to whatever speed they dream up!

    This post is not a debate on whether the life line is better than a mustang.Its a member asking if there are options that are better than a "body glove" for high performance boating.I believe there are some good products that can fit that bill and don't cost $400-600 Im not saying there the best,but some of us don't need "the best"

    I know Pete but I'm looking for a little less jacket for when there is more than just me and one other hot rod buddy with me. The wife will go 70ish so no need to get her a lifeline.

    Don't be too hard on him. Pulling a friend out of the water and cleaning up his blood later can give you religion real quick.

    Because when ur a$$ gets tossed out the boat and you hit ur head causing you to get knocked the f out a life line will float ya face up. Other p.o.s life jackets will float ya face down .. Funny how guys will spend thousands on props to go faster , but cry about a 400 buck jacket

    Yeah that probably was a bit uncalled for but I know how to order a lifeline. I think more than several folks are looking for something safe & reliable yet not a "race" jacket.
