Onyx Airspan Breeze XL/2X Blue Life Jacket

Larger paddlers often end up in vests that ride up or pinch at the arms, and the Onyx AirSpan Breeze in XL/2X is cut with large armholes to avoid that. Its minimal design pairs low-profile front foam, a sculpted upper back and large armholes, so your arms move freely through every stroke. Onyx built it to stay comfortable for hours of paddling. It's U.S. Coast Guard and Transport Canada approved.

Onyx's AirSpan back panel is what sets this vest apart. When you snug the side webbing straps, the inner mesh panel expands and opens an air gap between your back and the foam. Air moves through that gap, which keeps you noticeably cooler on hot days. Six adjustment points let you set a customized, secure fit. The back foam is thin enough to work with most canoe and kayak seats. Airprene comfort pads sit on the shoulders, and the shoulder webbing tucks away so it doesn't snag.

Two large pockets use stretchable Airprene panels that hold your gear and let water drain out. Reflective material on the front and back adds visibility, and a loop on the back holds a light for dawn and dusk paddling. It's sold individually in blue and size XL/2X.
