O'Brien Men's Recon Neoprene CGA Life Jacket

Competition Vest Mobility Meets Certified Safety

The perfect solution for riders who want the unrestricted movement and thinned-out profile of a competition vest without sacrificing true Coast Guard safety. The O'Brien Recon features a modernized, elongated silhouette that removes unnecessary bulk from your torso. Built with an incredibly flexible neoprene outer and a lightweight, breathable BioLite inner, this vest stretches and contours to your body for an elite fit that moves effortlessly through every trick, turn, and wipeout.

Why It Outperforms the Competition

• Elongated, Streamlined Fit: A longer, modern torso cut distributes flotation evenly to drastically thin out the profile, eliminating that annoying "bulky chest" feeling when you bend or twist.
• Split Back & Multi-Hinged Panels: Independent mobility panels across the shoulders and back let the jacket wrap perfectly around your frame. It delivers maximum range of motion for wakeboarding, kneeboarding, and PWC riding.
• Lightweight BioLite Inner Core: Engineered with a specialized BioLite material that significantly reduces total wet-weight while vastly improving breathability and dry times.
• Concealed Dual Internal Belts: A front zip closure is backed up by two heavy-duty adjustable safety belts hidden neatly inside the jacket, keeping them completely snag-free and out of your way.
• Harmonized Safety Certification: Fully approved by both the U.S. Coast Guard and Transport Canada as a trusted life safety device, making it as reliable as it is stylish.
• PWC Lanyard Attachment: Features an integrated, heavy-duty D-ring at the waist for fast, convenient jet ski lanyard connection.
