To add my two cents Andrew and Candice have a great point about the Lifeline jackets floating you face up. I have a Lifeline too.

I did a ton of research before I purchased my life jacket. I went with LifeLine as well. Kent is great to deal with and yes he is always around at the races (in Parker). I spoke with numerous racers that had used both jackets and the majority were running LifeLine for a few reasons.
1) Safety, they float you face up. Kent advised me to get fully dressed as if I was ready to jump in my boat and go. Then, jump into a body of water and see what happens. It was pretty eye opening.
2) Function, the leg bands and the cut of the jacket.
3) Comfort, most everyone that I spoke with that wore both Jackets preferred the LifeLine jacket over the SRP.
Good luck Greg, and choose wisely. They are a huge investment.

Comp vest with ballistic shorts. Not sure I need that much protection for a measly 650hp, but I'd rather have it and not need it than need and not have it. Besides I left some
in the till for these.

It'll be a couple weeks. Not too sure the shorts will be very fashion worthy.
