NRS Zoya Type III Personal Flotation Device - Women's

NRS designed its Women's Type III Zoya Personal Flotation Device specifically for women to give you an ideal fit while you wrestle whitewater. Soft PlushFit foam forms to your body while four straps on the side, two at the shoulder, and two at the waist dial in an exact fit. NRS made this PFD out of extremely durable ripstop with a urethane coating to help keep it dry, and mesh covers the lower back for ventilation and to accommodate high-back seats. NRS also added fleecy, quick-drying VaporLoft inside the pockets to warm up your hands on cold days, the lash tab holds your knife, and there's a strobe-holder loop on the back.

Stohlquist Cruiser Personal Flotation Device - Women's

Wouldn't it be nice to comfortably paddle in a life vest that truly complements your physique? Rather than repackage its men's PFD with some pastel colors and call it a women's model, Stohlquist gave the Women's Cruiser Personal Flotation Device a smaller cut, a shortened torso, supportive inner cups, and the new Wrapture shaped torso to ensure ergonomic comfort for female paddlers. Half flotation and half airy mesh on the back provide cool, low-profile comfort in today's rec-tour boats, and the padded mesh shoulders and lower-back waistband are easy on the skin when worn with a swimsuit.

• Paddling life vest designed specifically to suit a woman's body
• Wrapture shaped torso ensures a comfy fit for female paddlers
• Cross-chest cinch harness won't ride up
