We carry only top-quality
lifevests (PFD's) from Astral
Buoyancy, Extrasport, Kokatat,
MTI, Stearns and Stohlquist.
Type 5 PFD's are approved for
commercial whitewater rafting
by the Coast Guard and have a
minimum 22 lbs. of buoyancy.
All Type 5 rafting PFD's
feature buckle closures and
flotation collar. Type 3 PFD's
are also appropriate for
rafting but are more commonly
used for canoeing and
kayaking. They feature at
least 15 1/2 lbs. of
flotation, zipper closures,
and no flotation collar. We
also carry a complete selection
of Kids PFD's. If you have
been trained to use a
Swiftwater rescue type PFD, we
also carry the Extrasport Fury
and Ranger.
