Stohlquist Escape

The TruSize system is designed to accommodate a wider variety of body shapes than traditional PFD sizing. By using a combination of contoured inner chest panels and highly adjustable side and shoulder straps, it allows you to customize the fit to your specific torso length and bust size for a secure, non-restrictive feel.

Yes, it is designed specifically for comfort during extended sessions. The low-profile chassis and sculpted, body-hugging fit are engineered to minimize bulk, ensuring you have full range of motion for your paddle strokes without the jacket riding up or chafing.

This PFD is a Type III life jacket that meets both USCG and Transport Canada safety standards. It provides 16 lbs of buoyancy, making it suitable for recreational paddling in most inland and near-shore environments.

The jacket features a secure zippered front pocket that is ideal for smaller essentials like keys or a multi-tool, along with a quick-access stash pocket. While it can accommodate smaller items, it is not designed to hold large modern smartphones, so you may want to use a separate waterproof dry bag for electronics.

Yes, the jacket includes integrated reflective accents. While these help increase your visibility in low-light conditions, they are a safety supplement and should not replace the use of proper navigation lights if you are paddling after sunset.
