Coast Guard Approved Life Jackets & Comp Style Wake Vests
CGA Life Jackets at BoardCo
Essential safety. Premium construction. Built for performance.
Safety isn't just about following regulations—it's about protecting what matters most so you can focus on what you love. When you're on the water, a CGA life jacket—Coast Guard Approved—is the gold standard for safe and legal riding. Whether you're teaching your kids to wakeboard, perfecting your wakesurf technique, or enjoying family tubing sessions, the right life jacket gives you peace of mind and maximum freedom of movement.
At BoardCo, we carry a comprehensive range of USCG-approved life vests designed specifically for active watersports. These aren't bulky, restrictive safety devices—they're high-performance gear that combines reliable flotation with flexible fit and comfort, so you can move freely while staying completely protected.
What Makes CGA Life Jackets the Smart Choice?
A CGA (Coast Guard Approved) life vest meets rigorous U.S. Coast Guard certification standards for flotation and impact safety. It's the required choice for most boating and PWC use—and the smart option for riders who prioritize protection without sacrificing performance.
Key Features That Matter:
-
Certified Buoyancy Foam: Each vest is packed with high-performance flotation foam, strategically layered for consistent lift and support in the water
-
Durable Outer Materials: Premium neoprene or water-resistant polyester construction that stands up to sun, salt, and frequent use
-
Secure Fastening Systems: Front zippers, adjustable buckles, or dual-closure systems ensure a snug fit that stays in place—even during hard falls
-
Ergonomic Paneling: Segmented foam sections allow for better mobility and natural movement—ideal for active riders
Perfect Fit for Every Family Member
Safety on the water starts with proper fit. That's why we stock men's life jackets, women's life jackets, and youth life jackets designed specifically for different body types and preferences. From toddlers taking their first boat ride to adults pushing their limits behind the boat, we have the right protection for everyone.
