Stohlquist New Escape and Graded Sizing
New this year is Stohlquist’s Youth Large/ Adult Extra Small size, ideal for paddlers in the 75 to 125-pound range, like smaller women and tweens. This is part of Stohlquist’s quest to make better fitting PFDs for all body sizes. In 2015 they introduced their graded sizing system, which offers differently sized flotation panels depending on the size of the PFD. Pictured is the sporty Escape, available for both men and women and in graded sizing.
Level Six’s Breakwater Bib
Level Six’s new bibbed dry pant features their 2.5-ply eXhaust fabric. Featuring neoprene suspenders, the Breakwater’s low profile promises to be ultra comfy underneath a PFD. Retails for $420.
Delorme’s Weather Forcasting
Weather forecasting has come to the inReach Explorer SE, Delorme’s two-way texting and emergency messenger. The all-new function offers all the forecasted details kayakers will need to plan their trip on the go, including: precipitation, wind, waves, currents and visibility. With this new feature kayakers on long trips may never be caught out by the weather again.
Level Six’s Mystic Swimwear
We love the look of Level Six’s new neoprene swimwear line, which features extra support and coverage for ladies in high impact activities. The functional and fashionable suits include thoughtful design details. Available in both long sleeves, short sleeves and racer back designs.
Onyx’s New Inflatable Vest
Available this fall is Onyx’s A-24 In-Sight inflatable life jacket. Features air mesh in contact areas and easy adjustments for a snug fit. Fits chest sizes 30 to 65 inches and has a V-back for comfort. The Quickburst zipper opens on inflation and it’s easy to repack. Gabe offers a demo here.
