What do surfers say.

Harry Timson - Pro surfer and coach

“Spending all day in the water and sun, I need protection that actually lasts—and LifeJacket delivers. It’s a brilliant brand developed in Devon and made in Dorset. You can tell the products are built for people like us who live outside. For me, protecting my skin isn’t optional—it’s part of the job—whether that’s anti-chafe for wetsuit rub, sun protection or skin repair after a long session in the water.”
