Stohlquist Flo

The high-back design positions the flotation foam higher up on your torso, which prevents the vest from pushing against or catching on the seat back of your kayak. This allows you to lean back comfortably without the life jacket riding up or restricting your range of motion.

Graded sizing means the vest is scaled proportionally to the size you choose, rather than just adjusting the straps on a one-size-fits-all chassis. This ensures that the foam placement and overall fit are optimized for your specific body type, providing better security and comfort.

The Flo is specifically engineered for recreational paddling and sit-on-top kayaks. While it offers excellent mobility and comfort for casual days on the water, it is a Level 70N vest, which is intended for use in calm, near-shore waters where help is readily available.

The 240D ripstop nylon is designed to resist tears and abrasions from gear, boat edges, and general wear. It adds a layer of durability that helps the vest maintain its shape and integrity over multiple seasons of use.

Polyethylene foam is a standard, reliable flotation material that provides consistent buoyancy. While it is firmer than some premium, thinner foams, the Flo's construction and soft inner liner are designed to contour to your body, ensuring it remains comfortable during long sessions on the water.
