The ventilated back panel of the Clearwater PFD is more comfortable and less bulky when you lean back in your boat. The flotation of this recreational PFD is concentrated in the front panels and up high on the back for a more natural sitting position. Large arm openings allow for unobstructed movement while paddling or rowing. Seven adjustment points let you easily customize the fit. Two large front pockets provide plenty of room for storage. Design flotation: 16.5 lbs.

Great Life Jacket
Great life Jacket for the price. Love all of the adjustments. Works well for what we need, mesh back is great and overall is very comfortable. Very high quality for a great price.
PFD
My husband really likes the Clearwater Mesh Back PFD. He paddles an OT Dirigo and finds many PFDs to be very uncomfortable due to the high back seat. But this PFD is comfortable and has plenty of storage......plus it was on sale for a good price. It was a great choice for him!
So great - Ordered 2!
I ordered a S/M for myself (I am about average - wear M/L tops - 34 DD) and liked the fit so much that I went back and ordered the L/XL for my husband. We use them with the SOT and will be trying next with SINK once our new yaks arrive. The high back support is really helpful. The only shame is that we bought both of these when they were $69.95. Now they are 35% off. We are still within 30-days so will be asking for adjustment. I hope they will honor this request.
padding design gives freer movement and more room for a seat.
I went kayaking with this pfd and having the back padding up high gave me additional maneuvering room, I was hoping it would. Since the padding was over the seat, I could sit all the way back and the rotation of my torso was noticeably less constricted. Perhaps this feature is new only to me - I had neither seen nor heard of it before, but I am very happy to have found it here on Altrec.
Excellent product.
Great fit due to the 7 points of adjustable fittings. Like the range of motion and airflow. Feels very safe with the amount and positioning for buoyancy.
