Palm Kaikoura PFD

Touring and Sea Kayaking Buoyancy Aid

The Kaikoura PFD from Palm has long been a favourite buoyancy aid with sea kayakers and touring paddlers alike. This is a premium front-zipped expedition-level touring PFD packed with plenty of features and storage space for those who want the very best in comfort and functionality. Flex-fit foam technology hugs the body and means you barely notice you are wearing it and multiple reflective patches ensure you will be seen when needed. Multiple adjustment straps ensure a secure fit so you can get on with paddling in comfort.

The Kaikoura features multiple storage pockets, perfect for carrying safety essentials on the water. The larger two pockets can carry a phone, VHF or PLB with two-way zippers that can close up around a VHF aerial. The clamshell style pocket design allows them to open out at 90 degree angles for easy access to the contents. There is also a note-taking panel on the inside of the pocket for making quick notes or reminders for navigation. There is also a large rear pocket that will take a hydration bladder for a drink on the go. Plastic D-ring clip points on the front of the PFD allow you to tether your accessories but also feature an anti-snag split design, with additional gear loops for clipping on items such as a navigation light.

Constructed from ripstop material and Cordura fabric for excellent durability, with plastic non-corrosion zippers that stand up to saltwater use and abuse! 

A very popular buoyancy aid for paddling on the sea be it for a leisurely day trip or a more demanding expedition.
