10 years and still going strong!
I picked this PFD up ten years ago when I first started raft guiding. Since then I have used this PFD countless times not only as a SUP, Kayak, and Raft Guide but in my own personal time on the water as well. It has kept me agile while swimming rapids, yet has plenty of floating for calm lakes and rivers. Some of my favorite features of this vest are the side entry access and the hand warmer pockets. The only two cons to this PFD would be the location of the river knife holster and the depth of the front floatation sometimes makes getting in and out of a boat a little harder than other PFD's.
Best Rescue Vest Out there
Been wearing this vest design for a few years now. It's super low profile so doesn't restrict my range of motion when paddling technical whitewater. The clam shell pocket fits all my essentials for a day on the river, with enough space for a pin kit and a few snacks. The hand warmers make a huge difference, keeping your hands warm when scouting from shore. Most importantly though, it's comfortable to wear everyday. This vest design has it all!
High floatation and comfortable
Used this on the Grand Canyon. High floatation and very comfortable. Buckling is a little difficult. I had a knife attached and it would get caught on occasion, but overall I am very pleased.
New Zen
Seems to be a quality item. Arrived in a timely manner. Upon first use, it took a few minutes to determine what went where and how to fit, but that was probably just me. The Zen was a major upgrade from the last PFD I purchased. Overall, a good product, but have only used twice.
