What makes the difference
Front-Zip Closure
Simple and quick front zip. You put it on, zip it up, done. Convenient when the water is chilly or when getting in and out is frequent.
Adjustable Waist Strap
One more notch to secure your hold. It prevents it from riding up on a soft landing or when you pull long.
Harness Compatibility
Less foam around the harness area to maintain comfort when you tighten. The vest works with your setup, not against it.
Useful Storage
Two zippered pockets on the chest for small essentials. And at the back, a Velcro compartment for a hydration bladder. Plus a hook designed for a wing leash.
Neoprene Outer Material
Neoprene exterior for comfort against the skin and easy on/off even when it's windy on the water.
