    • 1.5 in. webbing belt and shoulder straps easily adjust to create a low-profile fit
    • Open sides enhance ventilation, and mesh shoulders and back enhance comfort

    • Durable Cordura® nylon shell resists abrasion and UV rays for long-lasting service
    • Reflective accents on front and back enhance visibility
    • Center-zip design with noncorroding zipper allows easy entry
    • Short length of the Stohlquist Cruiser won't interfere with seat backs

              Comments about Stohlquist Cruiser PFD - Women's:

              I love this vest. It is light, easy to wear, the high back doesn't interfere with the kayak seat, and cute to boot. I tried on many vests in the store and this vest outshone the others by far. The zipper is difficult to start at times due to bulk, but have acquired a trick to get it going easily.

                Perfect for Stand UP Paddleboarding! The vest is so comfortable, you forget you are wearing it. Great pockets to hold car keys etc.

                  Comments about Stohlquist Cruiser PFD - Women's:

                  I "graduated" from a cheap fisherman's PFD to this lovely thing as I became more serious about kayaking and needed a PFD that didn't feel like a corset or get in the way.
                  First of all, let's just say I sincerely appreciate the scooped out chest panels on this, and the high mesh back fits perfectly without causing any problems with my kayak's seat back. The sides of this PFD are open, which means that nothing rubs or interferes with range of motion. I am able to comfortably wear this for 8 or more hours a day on the river- and can even forget I have it on- and it's adjustable in so many areas that it's easy to get a good stable fit without any ride-up.

                  • Chest Size:
                  • Feels true to size
