Kent Orange Large/XL First Responder PFD

Kent's First Responder PFD is a USCG-approved Type III life jacket built for rescue crews, marine patrol and anyone who wears flotation for an entire shift. It uses soft, lightweight foam that stays flexible, so it doesn't feel like a board strapped to your chest after a few hours. This orange L/XL size fits a 40 to 48 inch chest. It has a minimum of 15.5 lb of buoyancy.

The foam is segmented, which lets the vest bend with you as you twist, kneel and reach over a gunwale. The lower back foam is contoured to follow the body, so it sits comfortably when you're seated in a boat. Adjustable neoprene shoulders and nylon strap carriers dial in the fit at the top, while hidden encircling body belts with 1 inch buckles cinch it around the torso. A heavy-duty front zipper closes it, and the hidden belts keep straps from snagging on rails, cleats and equipment.

Storage is generous for a work vest, with two large zippered cargo pockets on the front and two fleece-lined hand warmer pockets for cold mornings on the water. A lash tab and D-ring hold small accessories such as a whistle, knife or strobe light. SOLAS-grade reflective material on the shoulders and back makes the wearer easy to spot in a searchlight.
