Palm Kaikoura Buoyancy AID PFD

The Palm Kaikoura Buoyancy Aid PFD - Blue from Palm Equipment is a premium expedition‑level touring PFD designed for serious sea kayakers and long‑distance paddling adventures.

Widely regarded as a benchmark for sea kayaking buoyancy aids, the Kaikoura combines Palm’s Flex Fit buoyancy foam with a highly adjustable design to deliver exceptional comfort and freedom of movement. The flexible foam construction conforms to your body, meaning the jacket moves naturally with you while paddling, making it comfortable even during long days on the water.

A hydration bladder compatible pocket allows paddlers to carry water for extended trips, while neoprene‑lined underarm panels enhance comfort and reduce chafing during repetitive paddling strokes.

Constructed using durable Cordura® 500D fabric with a vent mesh liner, the Kaikoura is designed to withstand harsh marine environments while remaining breathable and comfortable.
