NEW FOR 2025 - PLAYER PFD
The Player PFD, the first in our new generation, is designed to make your first kayaking memories all about the water—not the life jacket. Built for novice kayakers, it offers unrestricted movement and breathability, so you stay focused on the experience, not the gear. Crafted from lightweight, PVC-free PE foam in an ergonomic 3D design, it stays light even when wet and dries quickly. Side entry with two military-grade buckles makes it easy to put on and go. With color-coded sizing and soft, water-resistant webbing, it’s durable and flexible, ideal for shorter and female paddlers.
Lightweight and beginner-friendly PFD for natural movement
Ergonomic 3D foam design for comfort and floatation
Quick-drying and recyclable, perfect for long-lasting use
Side entry with military-grade buckles for easy on/off
Low-profile fit keeps you balanced and secure while in the kayak
Color-coded sizing for easy selection
Durable polypropylene webbing repels water
SIZES XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL
£68.00
