The Hyperlite Youth Indy (55-75 lbs): A premium, dual-certified life jacket for younger groms. Featuring a soft neoprene shell and anatomical fit for maximum safety. The most comfortable and secure choice for small riders on Okanagan Lake. Read more.
The Youth Indy Small is specifically for the younger grom (55-75 lbs) who is ready to spend the day on Kalamalka Lake. It is Dual Certified (Transport Canada & USCGA Approved), making it 100% legal for all activities in Vernon. If your kid is just starting to tube, ski, or ride the wakesurf board and needs a vest that won't chafe or feel "bulky" around their chin, this is the perfect fit.
For the smaller riders on Okanagan Lake, comfort is the difference between a great day and a short one. The Youth Indy features a high-quality neoprene outer shell that eliminates the "neck rub" common with standard nylon vests. Because it is patterned for a smaller frame, it stays low on the torso, giving them better visibility and range of motion while they are in the water.
This vest utilizes a segmented foam core, which allows the vest to flex and wrap around a smaller chest. This is a game-changer for kids learning deep-water starts, as it doesn't "float up" and block their view. With bold graphics for high visibility and a secure zip-and-buckle closure, it’s a vest that gives parents total peace of mind while the kids have a blast.
