Hydration pack compatible with central drinking hose attachment and rear hose locators. Hi-vis upper panelling and reflective trim maintain visibility in low light. Two mesh pockets with elastic loops and single waist adjustor throughout.

Developed in collaboration with world-class water athletes, the Zhik Breathable Paddle PFD is an ultra-lightweight buoyancy aid that barely registers on the body. Large front and rear airway channels deliver direct airflow to the core, keeping you cool and comfortable across a wide range of water sports.

Ergonomically shaped with generous arm holes, the PFD is designed to move with you – not against you – allowing full shoulder rotation and unrestricted arm movement throughout. A four-point elasticated compression system grips lightly to the body and adjusts easily with a single waist adjustor, so you can fine-tune fit on the water with one hand.

Practical features are well considered. Two air-permeable mesh pockets with elastic loops keep essentials secure, while rear pocket and hose locators make it fully compatible with a hydration pack. A central drinking hose attachment supports longer sessions on the water.

Hi-vis upper panelling and reflective artwork, trim and piping ensure you remain visible in low light conditions – from dawn starts to dusk finishes.

ISO 12402-5 and UKCA certified.
