Are you sick of your existing PFD digging into your back? Take back your comfort with a high back design PFD like the Meander Highback PFD. This life vest is specifically designed to work with the taller seats found on many sit-on-top and touring kayaks.
The cutaway back panel sits above the seat for a more comfortable paddling position. Its a lightweight and slimline PFD that is easy to use with it's simple zip entry, secure waist buckle closure and a useful zipped pocket for your essentials while out on the water.
The Meander High Back PFD is a versatile and reliable personal floatation device that is suitable for various paddle sports, including kayaking, paddleboarding, and canoeing too.
Most kayaks are designed with comfy seats. So why throw all of that away with a big bulky PFD digging into your back. The high back cut out give your seat the chance to do its thing.
The 3D waist design system also securely holds the PFD in place, preventing it from riding up during active use. Adjustable straps accommodate a range of body types, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit for extended periods on the water.
A spacious front pocket provides convenient storage for essential items, including a phone (when stored in a waterproof case). Like the others in the Palm range, the Meander High Back PFD utilises YKK corrosion-free plastic zips for both the front entry and pocket and wont rust, ensuring durability in wet conditions.
I has high visibility reflective details on the shoulder straps to enhance visibility during low-light conditions, making the Meander High Back PFD an excellent choice for night paddling. The PFD meets necessary safety standards, providing ample flotation to keep you afloat while allowing freedom of movement.
