Hyperlite Youth Life Vest – USCG and Transport Canada Approved Level 70 Buoyancy Aid, 55–88 lb

Designed for young watersports participants weighing 55–88 lb (25–40 kg), the Hyperlite Youth Life Vest combines approved flotation performance with a flexible, lightweight design. It is identified by the manufacturer as a United States Coast Guard and Transport Canada approved Level 70 buoyancy aid.

FreeMotion Technology and FluidFlex panels support freedom of movement, while lightweight Biolite material helps improve breathability and comfort. Enlarged neck and arm openings provide additional room for movement, and TrueFit technology is designed to create a secure fit across a range of body shapes.

The vest also features a front zipper and a GlideLoc buckle system designed for smooth, pinch-resistant operation. Its youth-focused construction makes it suitable for compatible recreational watersports and swimming activities when properly fitted and used under responsible adult supervision.

Youth Weight Range

This vest is intended for young users within the following manufacturer-specified weight range:

Measurement	Listed Range
Minimum user weight	55 lb / 25 kg
Maximum user weight	88 lb / 40 kg
Age group	Children’s / Youth

Select a personal flotation device according to the wearer’s actual weight and body measurements—not age alone. A child outside the stated weight range should use a properly approved vest designed for their weight category.

Level 70 Buoyancy Aid

The product is described as a United States Coast Guard and Transport Canada approved Level 70 buoyancy aid. Approval labels, instructions, intended activities, and operating limitations should be confirmed on the exact vest before use.

A buoyancy aid reduces drowning risk but cannot guarantee survival or substitute for:

Swimming ability
Responsible adult supervision
Safe boating practices
Appropriate weather and water conditions
Compliance with local boating regulations
Emergency planning

The vest must be worn correctly, completely fastened, and properly fitted to provide its intended performance.

FreeMotion Technology

Hyperlite’s FreeMotion Technology is designed to increase flexibility and freedom of movement. This can help reduce restriction around the torso during active recreational use.

Actual mobility depends on correct sizing and adjustment. The vest should fit snugly without causing painful pressure, restricting normal breathing, or interfering with necessary movement.

Biolite Material

The vest uses lightweight Biolite material described as breathable and comfortable. It is intended to help manage comfort and body temperature during active use.

Biolite should not be interpreted as an active heating or cooling system. Comfort and temperature regulation will vary with:

Air and water temperature
Activity level
Sun exposure
Clothing worn beneath the vest
Length of use
Whether the material is wet or dry

FluidFlex Panels

FluidFlex panels are incorporated to improve comfort and flexibility. Their segmented construction is designed to help the vest move with the wearer during watersports and other approved activities.

Do not fold, compress, puncture, or modify the flotation panels. Damage to the foam or outer material may reduce the vest’s effectiveness.

TrueFit Technology

TrueFit technology is designed to provide a snug fit for a range of youth body shapes. A correctly fitted life vest should remain secure during normal movement and should not ride excessively toward the wearer’s face or ears.

Body shape and proportions vary, so the listed weight range alone does not guarantee a proper fit. The vest should be tried on and checked before every use.

GlideLoc Buckle System

The GlideLoc buckle system is designed to provide smooth, pinch-resistant operation. Confirm that every buckle engages fully and that all straps are properly adjusted before entering or approaching the water.

“Pinch-free” should not be interpreted as a guarantee that pinching is impossible. Keep fingers, loose clothing, hair, and skin clear while fastening or adjusting the buckle.

Enlarged Neck and Arm Openings

Wide neck and arm openings are designed to improve comfort and mobility. They may help reduce restriction during swimming and watersports while allowing the wearer’s upper body to move more freely.

The openings should not be so loose that the vest shifts excessively or rides over the wearer’s face. If a secure fit cannot be achieved, select a different approved size or model.

Fit and Adjustment Guidance

Follow the instructions printed on the vest and supplied with the exact product. A typical pre-use fitting check includes:

Confirm that the wearer weighs between 55 and 88 lb.
Inspect the vest for damage, deterioration, or missing components.
Put the vest on in the orientation shown by the manufacturer.
Close the front zipper completely.
Fasten every buckle and secure all required closures.
Adjust the straps evenly until the vest fits snugly.
Check that the wearer can breathe and move comfortably.
Gently lift the vest at the shoulders to check for excessive upward movement.
Confirm that the vest does not ride over the chin, ears, or face.
Test the vest in shallow, controlled water under close adult supervision before recreational use.

Do not use a vest that cannot be adjusted to fit securely.

Recommended Use

Use the vest only for activities permitted by its approval label and manufacturer instructions. The supplied description associates it with watersports and swimming, but it does not identify every specifically approved activity.

Before use, confirm suitability for activities such as:

Recreational boating
Tow sports
Personal watercraft
Paddle sports
Swimming
Other youth watersports

Some activities, jurisdictions, vessels, or competition rules may require a different flotation-device type or approval classification.
