Opponents of a 45-DAY limit won't be happy to see the exact threshold speed at which many of these NEW kids' life jackets are NOT recommended!
I do agree with you APS. You have to be very careful that the disclaimer is read. Many of these child and adult life jackets for that matter are not made for anytype of speed, only to keep you bouyant in case of emergencies. As you would not wear a standard orange vest to go wake boarding (or at least I would not consider that safe) I wouldn't rely on a ski vest in a poker run. There are specific designs to fit the activity.
