Stohlquist Flo PFD

Yes. The Flo features a high-back mesh design specifically engineered to sit above the taller seat backs found in most modern recreational and touring kayaks, so it won't push the vest up while you paddle.

The cross-chest cinch harness is designed to secure the vest closer to your body, which helps prevent the PFD from riding up toward your chin when you are seated or moving, providing a more stable and comfortable fit.

Yes, the Stohlquist Flo is US Coast Guard approved, meeting the necessary safety standards for buoyancy and performance.

Graded sizing means the PFD is scaled proportionally across different sizes rather than just making the straps longer. This ensures that the foam panels and torso length are adjusted to fit different body types more accurately and comfortably.

The two front bellows pockets are designed with extra volume, making them spacious enough to store essentials like a snack, sunscreen, or a small multi-tool. However, they are not waterproof, so you should keep electronics in a separate dry bag.

It is designed for all-day wear, utilizing lightweight, PVC-free foam for buoyancy and breathable mesh panels on the shoulders and back to help keep you cool during extended paddling sessions.
