The whitewater PFD you'll actually want to wear.
Finding a rescue PFD that fits comfortably over a female physique has long been a challenge. That’s why the Palm Extrem Women’s PFD exists. It combines all the performance and safety of Palm’s flagship whitewater rescue vest with a fit designed specifically for women. The cup-shaped front foam contours naturally to your body, while supportive side panels keep everything securely tucked in. The easy front-zip entry — a favourite among women with a larger bust — means no more awkward wriggling at the take-out. Whether you're guiding, instructing, or paddling remote rivers, the Extrem Women’s PFD is a professional-grade rescue vest that lets you focus on the adventure — not your gear.
