The new Orbit Tour PFDs are a hit. "Because the Orbit Tour doesn't restrict movement I felt less tired after paddling at the end of the Popolopan Tour."
Don't like wearing a PFD. Now you have no excuse. Kokatat took their whitewater Orbit PFD and added a pocket and reflective tape to the shoulder straps to make the Orbit Tour. Total freedom of movement for a sea kayaking PFD. This is a type 5 PDF so it must be worn to be legal. Pull over design in only two sizes. The negative is that it rides up on most paddles while paddling and more so while swimming. While many of our staff love this PFD it does not work for everyone. You should test it both paddling and swimming before purchasing it.
Kokatat says: Low profile and minimalist design is key to the comfortable fit and maximum mobility offered in Kokatat's pull-over vest. The uniquely articulated 500 denier Cordura outer and 200 denier nylon oxford inner shell, extreme low profile, adjustable shoulder straps, dual side adjustments accommodate varying girth and torso lengths. The shoulder adjustment hardware is neatly tucked out of the way beneath a soft neoprene panel, eliminating uncomfortable hardware on the upper torso. Simplicity and unrestricted range of motion in a UL & ULC approved vest.
