Our Story

Born on the river Stohlquist

Stohlquist products are the result of a lifetime of hands-on paddling, entrepreneurial spirit, craftsmanship and design experience of the company founder and president, Jim Stohlquist. Each model we offer follows the lineage of 40+ years of product innovation and refinement, incorporating the latest in raw material development and manufacturing know-how to provide our customers with the best WaterWare available today.

In early 2004, Stohlquist and Aqua Lung joined together as partners to capitalize on the synergies each has in the personal flotation business, both above and below the water. Jim Stohlquist continues to steer the company providing vision and guidance on all new products. OK, Jim is an avid scuba diver, but his focus remains heavily on this passion for paddlesports... innovation, performance and excellence. We have committed a lifetime to watersports and our long line of innovative and unique products have been the natural result.

From the early days, Stohlquist has been a family company. Based in Buena Vista, the company operated in close proximity to the famous "Numbers" section of the Arkansas River. The focus ever since, has been on making the best possible product for comfort and safety on the water. As one of the first companies designing gear for paddlers and one of the few original designers left, Stohlquist continues to lead with innovative products designed for the true water-lover.

Product Description

The Fit PFD is a high mobility vest for paddling, general boating, and personal watercraft use. The sculpted front and back foam panels create a more appropriate fit for paddle sports, while still providing the ability to be used in other boating activities.

great life jackets, but one of them clearly a return as it was dirty

great life jackets, but one of them clearly a return as it was dirty
While these life jacket are great: nice and light, good for movement when kayaking, one of them was clearly a return that had not been inspected. One was used and dirty (see pictures) and was missing all the tags and booklets the 2nd one had. Given that they are currently out of stock, I cleaned the dirty one and decided to keep it. I do understand that returns happen, but there should be some inspection before it goes out to the next customer.
Thank you for your feedback
