The low-profile DRIFTer PFD's unique cross-chest cinch eliminates ride-up for full mobility, buoyancy and comfort on and in the water.

  • Durable Cordura® nylon shell resists abrasion and UV rays for long-lasting service
  • Stretchy, adjustable neoprene shoulders follow your movement without hindering it
  • Eco-conscious Gaia™ PVC-free foam is soft, flexible and won't break down in a wet environment
  • Unique cross-chest cinch strap design totally eliminates annoying ride-up and keeps flotation in place to float you higher when in the water
  • Hand-beveled foam for a closer, more comfortable fit; high-waistline cut and short lower back won't hinder motion or rub back-rest
  • Roomy, zippered bellows pocket with drainage grommet stores accessories securely
  • Center-zip design with non-corroding nickel zipper slider allows easy entry
  • Cool mesh side panels with wide side cinch-straps secure fit while allowing cooling airflow
  • 3M® reflective accents provide better low-light visibility
  • 4-way lash tab lets you secure accessories like strobes or knives
  • Dual-adjust waist strap with side-release buckle closure

      Comments about Stohlquist DRIFTer PFD:

      I love this PFD. I tried on several women's models and none of them fit as well as the men's Drifter. I'm 5'10" (34D chest) and bought the men's S/M and it fits perfectly. It is super comfortable with plenty of arm movement. I highly recommend this PFD.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Stohlquist DRIFTer PFD:

        I love this PFD, I have read many Reviews about this product and similar products, about 60% of people that remark about PFD riding up, do not adjust them correctly they are suppose to be tight like you can feel them. If you really look at this aspect of weight when kayaking the vest can really not be too heavy unless you fill the pockets with allot of useless items. I normally keep survival necessity with me and a knife incase I get separated from my boat. GPS pocket are nice but you can figure out a little mounting option for those. Know about heat. Any vest that I have put on will eventually warm up depending on what you are doing when you are wearing it. Just like survival situation dress in layers and shed what you don't need. But even that does not matter it's just the way it is.

        I got this for my granddaughter to wear when kayaking with me. Since I adore her, it had to be safe and comfortable, so that she would keep it on, with pleasure. After many trips, she loves it and wears it all day. thanks for a great vest
