The low cut and fantastic fit of this PFD is making it a favourite with professional riverpeople all over the world. Young Guns, Brooks Baldwin says of his, "It's like someone is hugging you." A nice feeling to have on the river for sure.

The front pocket, as big as ever, is now made from Keprotec (stretchy Kevlar), so raft guides will have to work a little harder to rip it.

It still fits like a glove ("system X"), still has padded shoulders for boat carrying comfort and still has bar tacks at all the major stress points (and many of the not so major ones).
It still has a 38mm towline with a Fixloc buckle and a stainless ring.

Floatation meets or exceeds USCG minimum 15.5lbs (depending on size).
Floatation exceeds NZS minimum of 5.4kgf (all sizes).
