Kickback II Life Jacket

Standard life jackets often push against the backrest of a kayak seat, causing the vest to ride up and become uncomfortable. The Kickback II features a high-back profile specifically designed to sit above the seat back, allowing you to lean back naturally without the vest interfering with your posture.

The nylon shell is durable and abrasion-resistant, but the vest's flexibility comes from its ergonomic foam construction. It is designed to move with your torso, ensuring you have a full range of motion while paddling.

The reflective trim is positioned on both the front and back of the vest to increase your silhouette's visibility to other boaters. While it is a helpful safety feature for dawn, dusk, or overcast days, it is not a substitute for proper navigation lights.
