I think both these jackets are cool but dont know which one is best for kayaking. I know one is a kayaking brand but i want a rescue personal flotation device (PFD).
Any help on buying a jacket much wanted,, adding knives and compases and VHF radio is also what I wanna do bit by bit. Wanna stay safe but any advice welcome.
Cheers
Well done for asking the question. I work for an inflatable lifejacket manufacturer and it is nice to see someone being careful about which lifejacket to go for in terms of safety. For kayaking you will definitely want something that won’t restrict your movement and sits quite high on your body as you will be sitting down and don’t want the lifejacket to feel uncomfortable. Both jackets look to be bib style and this is what is normally used for kayaking. They are easy on, easy off when you’ve got cold hands. I would recommend that you get something that carries the CE mark then you know it has been manufactured against an approved standard. I think you will be ok with a minimum buoyancy of 50N. If you want a bit more information on buoyancy guides I have a bit of info:

Make sure that you find a jacket that fits you well. I recommend that you go to a shop and try a few on. Even if you don’t buy one there and then it will give you an idea of what size you need and how well they fit. Always try and get one that fits you snugly and isn’t too loose. Even if you hunt yourself out an internet bargain afterwards I think having tried one on you can make a better decision. I have given you a couple of links to show you what else is available:

I hope this helps.
