Product Description

The Hi-Fi life jacket features a high-back design and is a perfect fit for a variety kayak seating systems. It has an easy front-zip design with two self-draining zippered pockets for storing essential items and a breathable mesh back and side panels for drainage and ventilation. Reflective piping and trim on front, back and shoulders make for improved visibility while the durable 200 denier nylon shell means this jacket will stand up to the Forces of nature.

Why a high back? If your kayak has a back rest or a lawn chair style seat a high back PFD generally offers a more comfortable experience because it minimizes the overlap between the PFD and the seat back itself. A full-length PFD is more likely to ride up in this situation.
