If you live to ride Sea-Doo watercraft, then you know the importance of wearing the proper gear. The right apparel should not only make you look good and feel good, but prioritize your safety as well. It’s your first line of protection against harsh conditions or accidents, and can help you make a statement while out, so be sure to choose your outfit wisely! At S&N Motorsports, we can help you make the right choices. Read on to learn about the must-haves for every water adventure.

Life Preserver

If you decide to hop off your Sea-Doo, voluntarily or involuntarily (from falling off), staying afloat is incredibly important. Having buoyant clothing can keep you on the surface and treading water easily. This is why life jackets are an essential part of every PWC driver’s ensemble. They should fit snugly on your torso, while not impeding your ability to drive your Sea-Doo. Any that are U.S. Coast Guard-approved are highly recommended.

Neoprene Shorts and Wetsuits

Neoprene shorts offer support to the lower body while both on and off your Sea-Doo PWC. If you fall off, the neoprene will protect you from striking the water, as well as act as a cushion between you and the saddle.

As for wetsuits, both full-body or shorty wetsuit options have more coverage. Most full-body ones are used for colder temperatures in order to provide insulation and warmth. There’s even headgear that can help shield and limit you from sun exposure.

Eye Protection

As you ride, water spray can splash into your eyes, blinding you from seeing what’s ahead. That’s why eye protection in the form of sunglasses or goggles is crucial to wear as well. Clear vision will help you avoid any hazards.

Now that you know some of the gear and apparel that can make a big difference when cruising on the water, you’re ready to ride, dressed for success, on a Sea-Doo watercraft. You can find the best selection of models at S&N Motorsports! We’re in the Port Charlotte and Fort Myers, Florida area and are ready to help you get out on the water.
