The Hi-Fi PFD uses a high-back design so it sits comfortably above a framed kayak seat. It has two self-draining zippered pockets, mesh back and side panels for ventilation, and reflective trim on the front, back and shoulders. The shell is 200 denier nylon, and it is USCG/UL Type 3 approved.

Good to know
- Measure your chest over the clothes you paddle in and pick the size range that covers it.
- The high back is made for framed kayak seats, so it is a good match if your seat back rides up high.
KayakDIY take: A PFD only works if you wear it, and a high-back cut that doesn’t fight your seat makes that a lot easier. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
