Our safest and most secure-fitting race PFD.

The Palm Hydro is the race PFD we trust when safety matters most. With a front zip for easy entry and three forward-pull side straps on each side, it’s the best-fitting multisport PFD we’ve seen — hugging your body securely to prevent ride-up while swimming. It comes in three sizes for a closer match to your body shape, and features a 3D anti ride-up waistbelt for extra stability in whitewater. The twin front pockets have buckle-down flaps to keep your gear safe, and there’s a rear pocket for your hydration bladder. At Canterbury Kayaking, we use the Hydro in our hire fleet because we know we can get a great fit on anyone who turns up — and we know they’ll be wearing the safest racing PFD available.
