Life Vests + Jackets

Whether you're kayaking with the family or boating on the lake, a safety vest is a necessity in order to keep everyone safe. Academy Sports + Outdoors has a wide range of life vests available, so you and your loved ones can find the one that fits your needs. Our assortment of adult life vests features large arm holes, so you can move freely and comfortably. With the adjustable belts and zipper closures, you can properly secure the life jacket to your body so you're guaranteed to stay a float.

Ensure the whole family is safe while canoeing in a local river or swimming at the beach with our large selection of kids' life jackets and baby life jackets. Featuring buckles that are strategically located on the back, vests for children make sure your tiny tot keeps his or her life vest on, even when fidgeting in the water. If your child is tired after swimming for long periods of time or becomes injured, the pull strap included on the collar of his or her life vest lets you quickly lift your child from the water and safely into your boat. Our bright, high-visibility jackets are reflective, allowing incoming boats or other water vehicles to see your little ones, even in dark conditions. After you protect your child, consider safeguarding him or her from UV rays with a new pair of sunglasses or invest in waterproof containers to keep valuables like wallets and smartphones dry and intact.
