My husband and I recently bought jet skis and wanted to make sure we had extra life jackets on hand. The cost difference between some of the cheaper brands and these wasn’t a huge on a per-vest basis, so we decided to go for the well-known Connelly brand. Definitely a higher quality than what you’d get with the cheaper ones, the straps are thick and tight so they don’t slide down, and versatile sizing for different bodies. They’re a soft neoprene material and are a bit more on the stylish side than some other cheaper brands. Overall we’re happy with the value of our purchase and would recommend!
