PFD Inventory:   46 PFD's     we have 22 more on order

We choose our PFDs based on the quality of their construction, and the softness of the foam. A good lifejacket will form to your body, and not impede movement. Properly fit, they will be so comfortable you might forget you are wearing it.

The higher-end PFD's have a wide range of adjustments for a universal fit. The less expensive options have different shapes and cuts, which will feel different to different people. It's hard to go wrong with a high-end PFD, because it will have enough adjustments to feel comfortable on almost everyone. On the less expensive options, we strongly encourage you to try them on, and make sure their shape conforms to your shape.

Note: For paddling in Colorado or Utah, make sure your PFD is Coast Guard approved for paddlesports. The Coast Guard approval tag on the back of the jacket must specify paddlesports, canoeing or kayaking. If your PFD is not approved for paddling, the BLM will reject it. All of our lifejackets have this approval, but the cheap jackets found at bulk retailers may not be. Waterskiing PFD's, besides being uncomfortable, are not approved for paddlesports.

Touring Lifejackets

Touring PFD's are designed for all day comfort.

         

Extrasport Retroglide Saber     $130

Our most popular PFD. The Retroglide Saber offers multiple adjustment points for a perfect fit. The large pockets store your keys, sunscreen, snacks, a GPS and other goodies. Neoprene over the shoulders doesn't chafe the neck. Large armholes provide excellent freedom of movement.

Bells, Whistles, you name it this PFD probably has it. While not a Retroglide like the Saber (where the side adjustments are connected to the back), it has multiple adjustments for a comfortable fit. Large storage pockets, two lash tabs (one on the back), and even what they call a cow tail clip.
