USCG Approved Front Zip Life Jackets

Gill’s USCG Approved Front Zip life jacket offers unrestricted freedom of movement and maximum comfort.

Designed to meet the demands of sailors and boaters, this life jacket minimizes bulk while maintaining buoyancy. With soft polyethylene foam shaped for a slim profile and large harm holes for increased mobility, the Gill Front Zip life jacket offers all day comfort. Neoprene covered shoulder straps are soft for added comfort and four adjustment points along with the Velcro® waist adjustment provide a close, custom fit.

Easily take this life jacket on and off with the heavy-duty front zipper that also ensures a secure fit. Reflective piping across the back will keep you visible in murky or low light conditions while two front zippered pockets allow you to store gear and accessories. Gill equips you for long days on the water with their USCG Approved Front Zip life jacket.
