So comfortable youll forget youre wearing it! Expressly designed for unimpeded paddling fun, our Windward Paddle Life Jacket is comfortable even when seated. We designed this life jacket with a high-cut back to clear a kayaks back support. Large armholes allow arms to rotate freely while paddling and thin upper chest panels wont get in your way, enhancing your mobility. Buoyancy is supplied by lightweight PVC foam that we strategically wrapped around the bottom of this life jacket for added comfort and the V-neck design wont crowd up against your chin while seated. Along with comfort comes security in the form of adjustable side and shoulder straps that keep the Windward in place while you paddle. These straps are integrated through the life jacket to conceal them and keep them out of your way while the reflective trim on each strap ensures visibility. Weve also included expandable cargo pockets to store your gear. With features like these, the Windward makes paddling a breeze!
