The Hyperlite Junior Indy (75-125 lbs): A premium, US/CAD dual-certified life jacket for older groms. Featuring a soft neoprene shell and a larger chest capacity for growing riders. The gold standard for safety and comfort on Okanagan Lake. Read more.
The Junior Indy (75-124 lbs) is for the Older Youth/Junior Rider who is stuck between sizes. If your rider is too heavy for a 90 lb youth vest but "swims" in an Adult Small, this is their vest. It is Dual Certified (Transport Canada & USCGA Approved), making it 100% legal for all activities in Vernon. It's built for the kid who is pushing their limits behind the boat and needs a vest that stays put during big crashes.
Hyperlite knows that kids grow at different rates, which is why the Junior Indy exists in this specific weight class. By focusing on a 28–32 inch chest, this vest provides a secure, streamlined fit that standard youth vests can't match. Built with a high-quality neoprene outer shell, it eliminates the "neck rub" and bulk of entry-level life jackets, allowing for total freedom of movement on Okanagan Lake.
The Indy features a segmented foam core, which is a game-changer for active riders. Instead of one stiff block of foam, the vest is broken into panels that wrap around the torso. This makes it much easier for a junior rider to sit deep in the water for a start or stay comfortable while waiting their turn on the boat deck in Kal Lake.
