The Side Zip buoyancy aid has had a revamp to the fit and styling!

This fully approved and certified CE12402-5 buoyancy aid has numerous features and fits adjustments. We have used a thinner foam throughout to reduce bulk, especially on the back panel (to limit catching your back on the boom). The front panel is segmented into 3 sections for improved fit and comfort around the natural 3D curvature of the body.

This buoyancy aid has plenty of pocket storage, featuring a large asymmetric chest pocket with zip entry easily accessible with your right hand – perfect for grabbing something last minute when starting on starboard tack when the tiller is in your left hand! There are also 2 small elasticated pockets on the sides for easy-to-grab items.

A secret pocket is hidden on the back panel with a Velcro closure, that can allow for heat transferred team branding without affecting the main buoyancy aid. You could also add a water bladder in this pocket for ultimate adventures – great for your paddleboard!

• Side zip entry positioned forward for ease of use
