Stohlquist Fit Adult PFD Life Vest - Pack of 4, Coast Guard Approved, Adjustable, Unisex

EMERGING FROM THE WATER: A Testament to Innovation and Performance

At Stohlquist, we believe in the intersection of innovation, performance, and excellence. Our Fit PFD (Personal Flotation Device) is a high-mobility vest designed for a variety of activities including paddling, general boating, and personal watercraft use. The vest features sculpted foam panels on the front and back, specifically engineered to create a more suitable fit for paddlesports, while maintaining versatility for other boating activities.

The development of Stohlquist products stems from decades of immersive paddling experience, combined with entrepreneurial vision, craftsmanship, and design expertise. In early 2004, a strategic collaboration between Stohlquist and Aqua Lung was forged. This partnership aimed to leverage the complementary strengths of both companies in the personal flotation device market, whether above or below the water’s surface.

STOHLQUIST’S GRADED SIZING: Tailored for Every Paddler

One of our significant advancements is the graded sizing system we’ve implemented. This innovative chassis varies in dimensions to cater to different paddler sizes, ensuring an optimal fit while minimizing bulk. By fine-tuning each size, we have sculpted foam thicknesses and footprints to enhance comfort for users of all shapes and sizes. Our design accommodates everyone—from younger, smaller paddlers to larger adults—without compromising on mobility or the sleek, low-profile fit that defines our entire size range.

SETTING HIGH STANDARDS: Above the Competition

Unlike many other manufacturers who merely adjust strap lengths, our approach is different. We recognize that simply adding longer straps can lead to a bulky and uncomfortable experience, which can be dangerous for smaller paddlers. Our graded sizing ensures that the flotation foam dimensions are appropriately matched to each paddler’s size, providing a comfortable fit and the necessary buoyancy.

Whether navigating serene morning waters, racing down turbulent whitewater canals, or wading through the sparkling surf of an island beach, Stohlquist products embody the spirit of adventure for those who seek to float safely and discover more.

FOR THE TRUE WATER ENTHUSIAST: Experience Unrestricted Movement

Our Fit PFD allows for a non-restrictive cut that maximizes mobility. The upper buckle is strategically placed to minimize any ride-up, while the thinner back panel reduces interference with boat seats.

INNOVATION THAT MATTERS: Quality Design Features

Our commitment to innovation is reflected in the thoughtful design of our PFDs. We round and sculpt all foam corners, improving comfort compared to traditional 3-buckle designs. Additionally, our box-stitch webbing is crafted for durability, outperforming the standard bar-tac stitching found in many economy PFDs.

COMMITTED TO SAFETY: Coast Guard Approved

Safety remains our top priority for all adventurers in open water. Our PFD is Coast Guard approved for paddlers weighing over 90 pounds, ensuring that you can paddle, boat, or use personal watercraft with complete confidence.

ALL THE FLOAT: Convenient and Lightweight

In a handy zippered storage bag, we provide four Adult Universal PFD life vests. Weighing in at just 0.7 pounds, they feature an adjustable, unisex fit suitable for a variety of users.

ROOTED IN WATER: A Legacy of Excellence

Stohlquist products represent decades of dedication to hands-on paddling and the visionary spirit of our founder, Jim Stohlquist. Each model reflects over 40 years of ongoing innovation and refinement, aiming to deliver the finest WaterWare available today to our valued customers.
