Stohlquist GETaWAY Life Jacket - Men's

Stohlquist created the GETaWAY Life Jacket to give recreational paddlers a comfortable fit and storage pocket for all their goodies. With 16lb 2oz of flotation, this type III PFD keeps your head well above water should you go in the drink. The GETaWAY Life Jacket's high back makes it comfortable to wear with both sit-on-top and cockpit-equipped, flat-water kayaks. Stohlquist outfitted this PFD with a front cinch strap to keep it from riding up and large arm openings to allow for easy paddling.

Bottom Line: Enjoy your day on the open water with the comfortable, high-float Stohlquist GETaWAY Life Jacket.

Life Jacket Fit The Needs Perfectly

By:
August 14, 2007

The minute I started paddling with this Stohlquist life jacket, I believed whoever designed it had done lots of paddling. It is totally unobtrusive. Upper torso felt very well ventilated as I paddled. And it stayed above the seatback without riding up against my neck and chin.

I also use life jackets for risky snorkeling situations and found that it did not ride up against my chin and neck like the previous jacket I had.

Previously, for the past 12 years, I kayaked with a knarly, difficult to put on life jacket that crowded my chin, was hot, and interfered with my kayak seat back.

Look, this new jacket may give me a bit of a pot belly in appearance, but it puts that bulky flotation material where it will stay out of the way.

How much nicer my previous kayak trips would have been had I used a properly designed jacket. The Stohlquist web site impressed me that they put real life factors into their designs, and now I see they were exactly right.

GREAT PFD !!

By:
September 17, 2009

I'm new to Kyaking and just bought an SOT. None of the usual sporting goods stores had anything I liked or thought was suitable. Then I discovered this brand and its' many choices. This one sounded the best for my purposes, and it is - it has big pockets, multiple adjustments to make it fit just right, a high back that doesn't interfere with a kayak seat, does not interfere with paddling and excellent quality. And the price is right. Don't pay $50 or more for a multipurpose, on size fits all pfd from a big sporting goods store when you get this purpose made pfd for little.

Excellent Choice

Very speedy delivery - great service! This life jacket is great for kayaking. It's very comfortable, doesn't get in the way of paddling, and has plenty of adjustable straps. I'm very sensitive to how uncomfortable wearing a PDF can be, and I hardly know I have this one on. Highly recommend this site and the Stohlquist GetaWay!

Great fit; comfortable; unobtrusive when paddling a kayak. Both my wife and I purchased the same Stohlquist GetaWay life jacket and could not be happier with the quality and practicality. Great choice for any paddler!

Stohlquist GETaWAY PFD

By:
May 28, 2008

I like the bright color, it's really easy to be seen. It is comfortable and does not interfere with my paddling, the ventilate back does a great job keeping my back cooler. I think it could use better reflective surfaces and quick release fasteners on the top and bottom of the zipper to hold it while putting it on or removing it.
