Reflex Personal Flotation Device

A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is a life jacket or buoyancy aid designed to keep you afloat in water. It's essential for safety during activities like kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding. Wearing a PFD can prevent drowning and is often required by law in many areas when participating in water sports.

Harmonized Level 70 refers to a classification of PFDs that meet specific safety standards set by the U.S. Coast Guard. These devices are suitable for calm waters and are designed for individuals who can swim. Choosing a Level 70 PFD ensures you have the right safety equipment for your water activities.

200D Nylon indicates the thickness and durability of the fabric used in the PFD. A higher denier number, like 200D, means a thicker and more robust material, making the PFD more resistant to wear and tear. This durability is crucial for ensuring your safety gear lasts through multiple water adventures.

Daisy Chain Attachments are a series of loops sewn onto the PFD that allow you to securely attach gear or accessories. This feature is beneficial for paddlers as it provides multiple attachment points for essential items like tools or safety gear, keeping your hands free while you navigate the water.

Reflective Trim is a material sewn into the PFD that increases your visibility in low-light conditions. This feature is crucial for safety, as it helps others see you, especially during emergencies or nighttime activities. Wearing a PFD with reflective trim can significantly reduce the risk of accidents on the water.

While a Harmonized Level 70 PFD is designed for calm waters, it may not provide adequate safety in rough or turbulent conditions. If you plan to engage in activities in more challenging environments, consider a PFD with a higher safety rating that is specifically designed for rough waters to ensure your safety.
