Large lifejackets: all our XXL models

The importance of large lifejackets

When deciding on the size of a lifejacket, weight is just as important as the type of sailing you do. If you opt for an XXL-size model, it will generally be because of your morphology or the heavy weight of the clothes and accessories you'll be wearing on deck. So don't hesitate to look at the reviews posted online for the precise model you want, to steer you towards a size suited to your needs. You'll also find out more about people who have tested the vest in real-life situations. In any case, keep in mind that the ISO safety standard must be considered when choosing a large lifejacket .

Safety everywhere, for everyone

Buying a lifejacket gives you great protection throughout your boating activities. Whether you're on a commercial boat, a sailboat, a jetski, a kayak or a fishing boat, it's mandatory to have 1 lifejacket per person. For these water sports, we strongly recommend that you wear your XXL vest over your clothes, not directly on your skin. Once you've purchased your survival gear, it's often advisable to try it out in calm water, if possible, to check its functionality.

It's worth noting that size XXL is no more expensive than other sizes for a vest model. In fact, size has no effect on price. The price is determined by other factors: the quality of the vest fabric (neoprene, nylon, polyester), or the flotation system (foam or inflatable). An important point about XXL sizes is that they are available for both children and adults. So you'll find an XXL size for the Jobe Children's Neoprene Lifejacket , as well as for the .
