This PFD is one we’ve really come to appreciate for its design, comfort, and durability. The shoulder cut out gives great mobility if you need to paddle for back country river surfing. The fit is great—secure without being restrictive—and we love the thoughtful storage options that make long river days easier. The use of recycled materials is another big plus for us. The only real downside we’ve run into is the price, which sits on the higher end. But for the comfort, performance, and sustainability it delivers, we think it’s still a standout choice for serious river athletes.
