    Aqua Vest 300R PFD Details
    Since its inception in 2003, this Rescue vest has become standard equipment for much of the world’s top extreme paddlers, whitewater instructors, and swiftwater rescuers. It is stacked with features to make work or play on the river much safer.


    Features:

  • The Simplicity and reliability of a streamlined Pull-Over means no zippers to worry about breaking.
  • Quick release rescue belt: Removable 1-1/2” webbing belt and O-Ring designed for towing, anchoring or strong swimming rescues. Read threading details thoroughly!
  • Continuous Suspension is designed to let the shoulder straps move up and down with your shoulders while paddling, but without pulling up on the PFD. Reinforcement webbing is sewn throughout the shoulder straps, across your back, and then back to the front of the jacket. This creates a “harness” of strength that will secure around you in the event you are hoisted from your shoulder straps.
  • Enhanced Flotection™- is provided in side panels via a thin layer of HDPE. Your ribs and organs will appreciate this.
  • Rope ready front pocket with Built in Whistle: Store your rope behind the zippered front pocket.
  • Web-Tow Pocket at right side of vest neatly holds our optional WebTow™. This system is safer than most, because it eliminates the slack loop common to other tow systems.
  • Integrated Spectra® Safety loop is designed for short, emergency belays and extraction anchor point. It is securely integrated with the primary structure of the device.
  • Hydration compatibility-our ½Bladder™ fits in the front pocket and our Full Bladder™ fits between the back foam layers.
  • Quick Access Knife tab.
  • Reflective piping at front and back increases visibility in dark or shaded environments.
  • EZ-Reach side adjustments are placed much more forward than other PFD’s. This makes it much easier to securely adjust an Astral vest.
  • Low riding foam keeps the buoyancy out of your way, providing an amazing range of motion. In fact, remove the rescuer’s harness and you have a great park and play vest.

    Stohlquist Waterware X-Traxt-D Pfd

            Rescue vest designed for serious paddler in mind. If you are looking for a 1100 lb. tensile tested, built in body harness, and able to tow then you have found a great vest. The tow-ring is centered by loops that are designed closer together. The advantage to this is that the ring stays at the center of your back at all times. This vest also features three "Modes of Operation" for a variety of rescue situations.

    Features:
    Shoulder Strap Tensile - The minimum to pass the test is 150 lbs. per shoulder. Each Stohlquist vest tests to 300 lbs. per shoulder--double the standard strength! (X-traxt™ 1100 lbs. / shoulder.)

    300-pound zipper tensile - Vest horizontally mounted from an iron form with 300 lbs. attached perpendicular to the slide of the zipper. The effective load applied is transferred to all of the seams, giving you confidence in your PFD.

    1100 pound slip / 25 pound release - What do you know of that weighs 1100 pounds...a horse, maybe a small car? Imagine hanging that mass from our building’s steel girders attached only by our Quick Release "QR" belt. Guaranteed minimum slippage at 1100 pounds, yet made to release quickly and easily with no more than 25 pounds of pull on the "QR" release tab.

    Strong-Swimmer harness - Use with the QR Belt™ and Re-traxt™ tow system for rescue and water extraction.

    * Crotch-harness capable - Add one 6 footer cam strap to your rescue kit. Position it’s Ancra buckle at front for easy release. Adds an extra measure of security for particular rescue situations.
