Stohlquist Ebb

Yes, the Ebb is specifically designed for high-back seats. The high-back mesh panel is positioned to sit above the seat back, which prevents the vest from riding up or pushing against the seat while you paddle.

Graded sizing means the vest is scaled proportionally based on the size you choose. Instead of just making the straps longer, Stohlquist adjusts the foam panels and overall dimensions to ensure a more precise, comfortable fit for different body types.

No, this is a recreational and touring life jacket rated as Level 70N. It is designed for calm waters and is not intended for whitewater, high-impact activities, or offshore use.

The Ebb weighs approximately 1.7 lbs, making it lightweight enough to wear comfortably for long days on the water without feeling bulky or restrictive.

Yes, the Ebb is US Coast Guard approved, meeting the safety standards required for recreational paddling.

Yes, the front-zip entry is straightforward and allows you to put the vest on or take it off quickly, much like a standard jacket, which is often more convenient than overhead designs.
