The majority of Palm PFDs have up to 20% more buoyancy than the ISO/CE standard and Palm’s whitewater models have up to 40% more buoyancy than the 50 N required. Palm were the first to make PFDs to these ISO standards. CORDURA® fabric Fabric with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, and high resistance to tears and abrasion. Palm use CORDURA® for the seat and knee areas of technical outerwear and for other high wear gear such as PFDs and throwlines. Flex Fit A major innovation in PFD development: bonded into pre-formed shapes, the buoyancy foam curves around your body for unparalleled comfort and freedom of movement. This also allows Palm to tailor foam panels for a women’s specific cut without compromising buoyancy. Maximum floatation with minimum bulk. Try a Flex Fit PFD on and the benefits will be immediately apparent. Removable chest harness Palm chest harness fasten using a Fixlock buckle with a load spreader; closing firmly yet releasing quickly in an emergency. Strong nylon webbing is mounted high up the back of the PFD for stability under load and carries a welded stainless steel O-ring for a cowtail or to clip a karabiner. Failsafe Shoulder Straps A continuous loop of webbing (tested to 5 kN) runs through to the PFD down to the 3D waistbelt for security under load. They tighten without bunching thanks to the enclosed pulley system. Excess webbing can be stored in strap keeper pockets on top of the front panel of the PFD. 3D anti ride-up waistbelt A grippy rubber finish prevents your PFD from riding up when in use, and the adjustable waistbelt is positioned on the inside of the buoyancy foam panel for full contact around your waist. Hydration Bladder compatible Drink on the move without dropping your paddle or opening compartments, from a pocket to accommodate a drinks bladder.
