Patagonia Rio Grande PFD

The Patagonia Rio Grande PFD includes two large stretch mesh pockets to hold all the necessities for a professional rafting guide or anyone going on a big river trip. There's plenty of room for your flip line, sunscreen, snacks, neoprene gloves, and anything else you want within easy reach. With 15lb 13oz of flotation, the Patagonia Rio Grande PFD keeps you from sinking like a rock if you go for an unexpected swim, but it's not so bulky that you can't move when you're in the boat.

Bottom Line: Big water calls for more gear. Bring it all along with the Patagonia Rio Grande PFD.
