Zhik USCG Approved - Active PFD - Unisex (Black)
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Zhik set the standard with its original USCG-compliant PFD, and now it is taking it further. The Active USCG PFD delivers Zhik's performance-driven design with full US Coast Guard approval. Lightweight, streamlined, and versatile, it provides 70N of buoyancy while allowing unrestricted mobility for sailing, paddling, and other watersports. Inspired by the tech-forward design of Zhik's ISO-certified Active PFD, this PFD brings high-performance protection to US watersport enthusiasts looking to step up their game with Zhik.
The Active USCG PFD is engineered to bring Zhik’s signature performance and sleek style to US sailors and water sport athletes, with full US Coast Guard compliance. Built with crossover performance in mind, this PFD is designed for comfort, agility, and security in any water sport, from sailing to paddleboarding.
With a convenient front zip, the Active USCG PFD is easy to put on and designed for a wide range of movement. It features our secure, adjustable waist strap, drawn from our side-zip PFDs, which provides added stability by compressing the internal nonslip panel to prevent shifting in the water.
Though tailored for versatility, the Active USCG PFD still packs in key Zhik performance features: a low-profile design for flexibility, 70N buoyancy for reliable flotation, and soft neoprene shoulder panels for all-day comfort.
At its core, the Active USCG PFD represents Zhik’s commitment to top-notch design, crafted for those ready to explore the water, no matter the adventure.
