Which vest and why?

[hyperpasta]

One question.....

Does any of these companies make a USCG approved jacket? I saw a line that the Poker Run jacket was non USCG approved. That jacket look like it would be a big seller for most guys. I think I heard that the lifeline Chute Jacket wasn't USCG approved either.

If so....

How do you make the "Coasties" happy?

Are any of these Jackets USCG Legal?

I don't believe any Lifelines are USCG approved. I have been pulled over wearing one and never gotten a ticket (you can always carry a cheapo orange vest which will satisfy the approved vest part).

If you are just looking for a Poker Run jacket, West Marine sells a vest my Mustang Survival that is rated to 100mph. I am sure that is USCG approved, or West Marine wouldn't be selling it.
