Patagonia Highwater Vest PFD

For casting to surface-feeding bonito in a kayak or sampling the eddies as they pass by your drift boat this USCG-approved, Type III personal flotation device doubles as a trim-fitting, highly functional air-conditioned fishing vest. It features Gaia foam thats lighter than conventional foam and free of CFC ozone-depleting materials, without sacrificing performance. Deft adjustment points, die-cut/hand-skived foam and an open-mesh back keep the profile slim (and cool and comfortable to wear, even in a high-backed kayak seat or float tube). The low neckline, narrow chest and short waist create large armholes for unimpeded casting. Details: adjustable shoulder and side straps, two large flapped pockets with piggyback mesh pockets, two D-rings on the front and one on the back.
