Vaikobi announces the Launch of the V4 Life Jacket, which promises to be an evolution in performance ocean racing PFDs.

As the trusted name in PFDs around the world, Vaikobi is proud to introduce the highly anticipated V4 Life Jacket, set to enhance the performance and enjoyment for downwind foiling and paddling.

Following two years of collaborative design development and testing with top athletes, the V4 showcases even more versatility and utility to meet the diverse needs of ocean enthusiasts worldwide. Available in Vaikobi's signature safety colours; Fluro Yellow, Fluro Orange, Bright Pink and Bright Cyan Blue.

To celebrate the official product drop on February 6, 2025 Vaikobi are celebrating with 4 Days of V4 Freebies. Every purchase of a V4 life jacket on vaikobi.com between 6th and 10th February 2025 will receive $110 (AUD) worth of life jacket accessories; 1 FREE waterproof phone case (RRP $40 AUD) and 1 FREE 1.5L hydration bladder (RRP $70 AUD). See full terms and conditions of the 4 Days of V4 Freebies promotion.

The V4 Life Jacket builds upon the success of its predecessor, the V3, the OG, and a staple among the paddling and downwinding community.

The new V4 features:

  • A brighter style in a sleek overall package
  • 2 x expandable front pockets that now allow for an extra 40% carrying capacity
  • Increased utility to allow storage of key safety and performance items such as cell phone in water proof case, VHF radio, PLB, the New 650ml Hydration Bladder and more
  • Webbing strap covers for a clean aero look and to eliminate strap flap
  • More reflective trims on the shoulder area
  • Increased durability on zips and and styling to keep the PFD looking fresh for longer

Crafted with a keen focus on performance and comfort, the V4 Life Jacket is engineered for greater versatility on the ocean. Whether going out for a training session or navigating challenging downwind conditions, this PFD offers unparalleled performance combined with the styling you would expect from Vaikobi.

Chief Designer Bart Milczarczyk comments "The V3 PFD design was already great, so it was a cool design challenge to try and improve on this concept. We've enhanced and modernised the vest for people who are into a bit of everything - so the slick racing paddler still has a lightweight comfortable PFD, but the guys and girls setting off on other adventures have extra built-in features like a bit more hydration, room for a phone case, snacks, tool, a radio and more. Basically the V4 offers people more from the one life jacket."
