An excellent basic kayak jacket. The Freetime is extremely easy to get in and out of quickly thanks to the extra wide toothed zipper, while the contoured shape with side and waist adjustments means it can be fitted perfectly, making it comfortable and secure. It's perfect for beginner paddlers and comes with reflective patches on the front to ensure high visibility.

This is the Rolls Royce of kayak vests. It has a large front pocket (with a small portal for headphone cable!) and a couple of smaller pockets as well. Reflective patches and piping, padded shoulder straps, D ring attachment point and exceptional comfort round out the jacket.

The back of the kayak vest has a pocket to accept a 1.5 liter water bladder making it good for surf skiers and endurance paddlers who like to drink without stopping. Also good for lazy or forgetful people who don't remember to pack a bottle of water. Just keep your water bladder (sold separately) filled from a tap or with juice of choice.
