This gear review was originally published in Adventure Kayak magazine.
MeC’s new side-entry touring PFD fits a wide variety of body types. Women and barrel-chested men benefit from horizontally split, expandable front floatation panels and everyone can appreciate the high waist back that minimizes ride-up. Rescue belt ready, the vest also includes safety features like reflective piping, knife and strobe attachment points and a carabiner quick-release point. Three pockets, a key clip and plenty of adjustment points round out this well equipped, reasonably priced PFD.
