Recreational Buoyancy Aids for Kayaking & Canoeing
PFDs for all-round paddling and watersports use
Wearing a buoyancy aid (sometimes called a personal floatation device) is always recommended when canoeing or kayaking, whatever the environment or weather. As well as helping to keep you afloat in case of submersion, they also provide additional warmth. Please note that life jackets, which provide buoyancy for the head as well as torso, are not the same thing as buoyancy aids.
