Rooster USCG PFD

Yes, it is USCG Type III approved and designed for active use. The short-cut profile and segmented foam panels are specifically engineered to allow for a full range of motion, making it a solid choice for jet skiing, kayaking, and sailing.

The side zip entry allows for a cleaner front profile, which is helpful if you are frequently climbing back onto a board or boat. It also makes the jacket easier to put on and take off by yourself compared to traditional overhead models.

The jacket is highly adjustable. With straps on both the shoulders and the sides, you can fine-tune the fit to accommodate different body shapes or extra layers of clothing underneath.

The asymmetric chest pocket is designed for quick access to essentials like a whistle, a small multi-tool, or keys. While it is spacious, it is not waterproof, so you should keep electronics in a dedicated dry bag.

Not at all. The combination of rip-stop nylon, neoprene shoulder sections, and a breathable lining helps the jacket feel flexible and comfortable. The segmented internal foam panels also allow the vest to bend with your body rather than resisting your movement.
