I took the big plunge a few weeks back and worked with LIFELINE, ordered the family the new Poker Run edition jackets. Our old jackets were beat etc, most of the Poker Runs we are already signed up for require jackets during the run.

They custom color matched the fabric to the boat, sized based on individual measurements, Donzi logo all the way across the back, personalized with our names in the front.

I was skeptical due to they are pricey $$$.
Now that they have been delivered, I am here to tell ya they are AWESOME. The DONZI name will be worn with pride in this years poker runs.

So if any had considered them after reading the OSO or HOTBOAT posts, I will testify they are top notch in quality and fit.

Bryan,

I think you should post a picture so we can see what they look like.

Cheap camera... (Jessica's Barbie Camera! LOL)
best I can do.
They are Dark Blue like the boat colors and the red is also a perfect match.... we are quite pleased.

Thanks Sam, #1 goal was achieved, Nancy's fit and she loved them, ME too. The fabric is thick and durable, which we need tubing etc, they should last for years.

Hey Bryan,

Cool jackets. With all the rough water bay boating that you guys do, best to be safe and look cool at the same time.

I had four lined in kevlar made up for a past beast. Gave two away with the sold boat, but Jill and I have two stashed away in plastic in the closet.

Conversation turned tonight to digging them out again for the AOTH2. May need them, if you get my drift...

OK, I'll bite!

(I may be ignorant, but I am trainable)

RUSS, visit their website and call for a brochure, the website has little to do with anything.

Bryan, Exactly how much are those Poker Run jackets with the Donzi logo embroidered on the back? Maybe I'll consider a pair. Thanks.

P.S. the link is www.lifelinejackets.com. (http://www.lifelinejackets.com.) The web page is pretty much useless, though it does have their phone number.

Oops, spoke too soon. The phone number posted on the web page has the wrong area code.

Hey Guys, this company is in my hometown, check the prices, after exchange, and if it's cheaper, I don't mind arranging shipping, through our truck company, to the States.

RANMAN, $355 each total, breaks down as $275 plus embroidering, name, shipping etc..
Like I said, pricey, but once they came I felt the custom fit and colors were justified...
Some may not like the crotch strap, we are ok with it, we also want to be safe.
Anyway we love them.
I ordered them on American Express so if they turned out bad I could cancel payment easily. thier # 928-669-9241
I worked with two ladies, Lisa Hammond is who I recommend. Very professional. In fact she just emailed me and said they have had calls about seeing mine today.
