Author	buoyancy/ life vests suitable for SUP'ING	Page: of 1
gnara 4 Posts	Posted 23/05/2012, 10:37 pm I am looking for a life/buoyancy vest suitable for distance paddles and down-winding which doesn't impede on paddling. Has anybody got any recommendations???

Make sure you get the largest size because the shoulder straps are longer allowing you to wear it lower so it's not up under your armpits. DJ

DJ + 1 DJ . About 3 of us blokes bought these and they are excellent. The bladder is great to for the additional Hydration.
