Stohlquist Flowter

Kayaks & Boating > Life JacketsRated: 5 by 4 reviews.

If you need a high-quality PFD for sea kayaking and don't want to drop a lot of dough, the Stohlquist FLOWTer Life Jacket is an excellent choice. The low-profile FLOWTer has a minimal 16lb 8oz flotation that's perfect for paddlers who are not likely to spend much time out of the boat and want good freedom of movement. The large front pocket stores everything from sunscreen to a flip line. The FLOWTer's high waistline won't interfere with your spray skirt, and the cross-chest strap keeps this front-entry PFD from riding up. The Stohlquist FLOWTer provides high-end performance without the high cost.

Great Flowter

Rating:*****

This Jacket was just what I was looking for, it fits nice and tight with lots of adjustment. I'm a pretty good size, square shoulders and a 36" waist and it fits me just fine.

Stolquist FLOWTer PFD

Rating:****

Good range of adjustments, comfortable when snugged up, did a great job in recent capsize - didn't ride up. Storage pocket pretty limited - good for flat objects.
