The Zhik Active PFD combines proven performance technology with all-round versatility, making it ideal for sailors, paddlers, and recreational water sports users. Its streamlined, ergonomic race cut ensures a full range of motion, allowing you to move freely during high-output activity.
A convenient front-zip entry makes the PFD quick to put on and remove, while the adjustable waist strap works in unison with an internal nonslip waistband to lock the vest securely in place. Borrowed from Zhik’s racing PFDs, this system prevents ride-up in the water for consistent comfort and stability. Neoprene shoulder panels provide all-day wearability, and elastic side panels improve fit across a range of body shapes.
A chest pocket with drainage offers practical storage for small essentials, while durable construction ensures longevity season after season. Certified to ISO 12402-5 with a 50N buoyancy rating, the Active PFD blends safety, performance, and ease of use for both competitive and recreational environments. From weekend sailing to coastal paddling sessions, it’s a trusted layer of protection built for movement.
