    Visible & Great Movement

    Smart choice for safe winter paddling. Excellent fit. Provides for great range of motion. Front pouch has strong velcro and good inside places to attach my car keys. Right-side clasps make it easy to put on and take off. Superb design.

    A very well designed PFD with the addition of the hydration bladder and storage compartment. Easily routed over the shoulder drink tube. Easy access to items in the chest storage pouch.

    Race pfd

    I love this pfd. The huge pocket in the front is great for my sunscreen and my phone. The pouch in the back is a real game changer. It's light weight and it's very visible. I was able to attach my watch to it and a small diving knife. The water platter hose holder is a great help as well. It's a great piece of equipment.
