Patagonia: Rio Serrano PFD

An innovative front-zip sea kayaking?specific PFD (personal flotation device) that offers a pliable, customized fit for day trips or expeditions.

The Rio Serrano sea kayaking?specific PFD is perfectly adapted for day trips or ocean expeditions. Our innovative FlowFit? foam contours around your torso for a customized, comfortable fit. A two-tiered StableLock? (patent pending) waistbelt system secures the front-zip vest to your body with a cinch buckle and separately adjustable waistbelt. The PVC-free Gaia? foam is lighter weight and has less environmental impact. Ventilating aero-mesh fabric lines the back and waistbelt; jersey-covered neoprene at the armholes prevents chafing. Two large stretch-mesh pockets with internal D-rings and buckle closures keep your stash secure. Lash point at left shoulder for flash beacon.
