Stohlquist Edge PFD

No, this specific model is designed for users weighing between 77 and 126 pounds. Using a PFD outside of its weight range can compromise safety and buoyancy, so it is important to choose a size that matches your child's current weight.

A Level 70 classification indicates this is a buoyancy aid designed for use in calm, inland waters where help is nearby. It provides enough flotation to keep a conscious person afloat but is not intended for rough, open water or offshore use.

While it is optimized for paddling, it is a versatile life jacket for general recreational use on calm lakes or rivers. However, it is not USCG-approved for high-speed water sports like tubing or jet skiing, which require different impact ratings.

The lash tab is a small, reinforced patch that allows you to securely attach accessories like a whistle, a small knife, or a light. It keeps essential safety gear within quick reach without interfering with the jacket's fit or comfort.

The Edge is specifically cut for paddling, meaning it features larger arm openings and a contoured design that prevents chafing. This allows for a full, natural range of motion so your child can paddle comfortably without the vest riding up or rubbing.
