Stohlquist Flo

Standard life jackets often push against the seat back of a kayak, causing the vest to ride up and become uncomfortable. The Flo’s high-back profile eliminates this interference, allowing you to lean back against your seat comfortably without the vest shifting.

Graded sizing means the vest is specifically scaled to fit different body types more accurately. Instead of just making the vest larger or smaller, the proportions are adjusted across sizes to ensure the foam placement and strap lengths provide a secure, tailored fit for women.

Yes, it is a versatile choice for paddle boarding. While the high-back is optimized for kayak seats, the overall design and mobility offered by the vest make it equally effective for the standing and paddling motions required on a SUP.

A Level 70N rating indicates this is a buoyancy aid designed for use in sheltered waters where help is close at hand. It provides 16 lbs 4 oz of buoyancy, which is standard for recreational paddling but not intended for rough, open-ocean conditions.

The vest uses a 200D nylon inner liner, which is durable enough for regular recreational use. It is designed to be soft against the skin for comfort during long sessions while maintaining the structural integrity needed for safety.
