Stohlquist Ebb

The high mesh back is specifically designed to accommodate the taller seat backs found in recreational and touring kayaks. By placing the foam higher up on the vest, it prevents the life jacket from pushing against the seat, which stops the vest from riding up and becoming uncomfortable while you paddle.

Yes, the Ebb is engineered for long days on the water. Its ergonomic fit system and low-profile design prioritize comfort and range of motion, making it less restrictive than bulkier, traditional PFDs.

Level 70N is a buoyancy rating that indicates the vest provides at least 70 Newtons (approximately 15.7 lbs) of buoyancy. This is standard for recreational paddling in calm or near-shore waters where help is readily available.

Graded Sizing means that the vest's proportions change as the size increases, rather than just adding more fabric. This ensures that the foam placement and adjustment points are tailored to your specific body type, providing a more secure and comfortable fit than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Yes, the Stohlquist Ebb is US Coast Guard approved, meaning it meets all federal safety standards for use as a personal flotation device while kayaking.
