PFDS or Buoyancy aids are a vital part of being safe on the water. PFDS are designed to assist you in floating. Not to be confused with lifejackets that are life saving devices.
PFDS can come in a range of variations of colours shapes and sizes to make sure you find the one that fits what you are doing on the water.
The Gill pro racer buoyancy aid is a great example of the range of colours you can get PFDS in so you can stand out on the water. The Pro racer Buoyancy aid comes in orange or black with a generously sized pocket on the front for snacks and spares. This PFD is highly adjustable with padded shoulder straps and side straps around the zipped enclosure.
Key Features
The P2 PFD is one of Zhik's most advanced PFDS.
An ultra-light and slim buoyancy aid that is designed to sit close to your body. The ergonomic fit and unique panels allow great freedom of movement and flexibility. The thinner profile allows more flexibility across your back making getting under your boom easier. Mesh lining is designed to increase airflow through the buoyancy aid and non slip grip patches to stop the PFD from riding up if you enter the water.
The Zhik P3 is one of the most popular PFD we sell its range of colours and tried and tested design is very popular and loved by many. Zhik leads the way with innovation and ideas the simplest and smallest things you may not think about like the orientation of the zip. Reversing the zip makes it easier to be done up with one hand and can't fall undone
Key Features
The Spinlock wing is designed to provide agility and manoeuvrability. Its low profile design lowers the chance of you snagging on the boom as you move across the boat. The PFD has a side zip and velcro tab to lower the chance of the zip coming undone whilst sailing. The webbing side straps give a wide range of adjustability and internal grip eliminates the chance of it riding up when you are in the water.
Key Features
Spinlock Wing is available in Blue, Red and Black
Great, speedy service and quality product. Thank you
Well thought out kit bag with a large internal compartment and small mesh pockets inside and out. The wet compartment is really useful. Appears to be well made and the strap is comfy over the shoulder. Easily packed in my winter gear plus a few spare tops etc but if you like to carry multiple winter wetsuits or have lots of spares you may want to go for a larger 90l bag.
