Adult Buoyancy Aid for Waterskiing and Jet Ski
The O'Neill Reactor 50N is a neoprene adult buoyancy aid for waterskiing, wakeboarding behind the boat and riding a jet ski.
It is certified to EN ISO 12402-5 (50N) and also cushions impact in high-speed falls. Between tows, it keeps you afloat until the boat picks you up.
The Reactor carries more foam than slim competition impact vests, so it puts buoyancy before mobility. It is a great choice when you are learning behind the boat.
Who Is the O'Neill Reactor For?
The Reactor is designed for swimmers who need certified buoyancy and impact protection for boat-towed sports or jet skiing.
We recommend it for:
- waterskiers
- boat wakeboarders, especially beginners
- jet ski riders
- families and clubs where several people share one vest
O'Neill Reactor Benefits
Certified 50N Buoyancy
EN ISO 12402-5 confirms at least 50N of buoyancy for swimmers close to help.
Impact Protection
Foam inside the neoprene cushions the torso in high-speed falls.
Fits Every Build
Two adjustable buckle straps and a front zip adapt it to different body shapes.
Drains Fast
Drainage mesh keeps the vest light even when wet.
Secure Closure
A zipper safety tab prevents accidental opening, and overlock seams handle hard use.
Is a 50N Buoyancy Aid a Life Jacket?
No. A 50N buoyancy aid does not turn you onto your back and is not suitable for non-swimmers. It is designed for swimmers near the shore, a boat or help. For high-mobility sports such as wing foiling or kitesurfing, choose a slimmer vest from our life jackets and buoyancy aids.
Material and Technology
The Reactor is made from neoprene with a soft inner finish, with marine foam providing the buoyancy.

Why Choose O'Neill?
O'Neill is the Californian brand behind the first neoprene wetsuit and the first surf shop. Neoprene is still its core, so vests like the Reactor focus on fit and comfort in the water, not just flotation.
