AIRLIFT JACKET

AIRLIFT JACKET

FIRST, A NOTE ON SAFETY

The Quiksilver Highline Pro Airlift vest is designed for use by experienced adult surfers. Using it successfully requires strong swimming skills, ocean knowledge, collaboration with other surfers and lifeguards, and like the rest of your equipment — it must be cared for and used correctly. Proper use of the vest requires adherence to manufacturer’s instructions.

The Airlift vest is a safety tool, not a performance enhancer. Do not take greater risks while using this vest.

HIGHLINE PRO AIRLIFT VEST

The Highline Pro Airlift is a neoprene safety vest that utilizes carbon-dioxide cartridges to help bring the wearer to the surface in big wave hold-down situations. Since its release in 2017, it has become a staple at the world’s heaviest waves. The Airlift is there, adding an extra element of safety and pushing the level of performance in surfing’s most volatile environments.

4X INFLATION PULL TABS

CONVENIENT WHEN IT COUNTS

The Airlift features four conveniently located inflation tabs which are connected to CO2 canisters.

CONVENIENT WHEN IT COUNTS

EASY DEFLATION

The Airlift is designed with an easily accessible deflation tab so that you can ditch your buoyancy whenever you need to.

EASY DEFLATION

INTELLIGENT DESIGN

The air bladders are strategically placed to keep the wearer’s head above water when inflated.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN

BUOYANCY BEFORE YOU PADDLE OUT

An oral inflate valve can be used for partial inflation so that you can conserve CO2 cartridges for emergency use.

BUOYANCY BEFORE YOU PADDLE OUT

FOR ANY WAVE, ANYWHERE

The Highline Pro Airlift is made with Quiksilver’s best neoprene and can be worn as a standalone vest or over the top of any wetsuit.
