Yak Taurus Whitewater PFD

The Yak Taurus Whitewater PFD from Yak is a high‑performance whitewater buoyancy aid designed for paddlers who demand comfort, freedom of movement and rescue readiness.

Built using 4D Cast technology and super‑soft foam, the Taurus features ergonomically shaped front panels that wrap comfortably around the body for a secure, flexible fit. The minimalist back panel reduces bulk and improves comfort when seated in a kayak, allowing paddlers to focus fully on performance on the river.

Designed with safety and practicality in mind, the Taurus includes an integrated attachment point for the Yak quick‑release harness belt (sold separately), enabling paddlers to perform bank‑side rescues when required.
