Stohlquist Fisherman PFD

The Stohlquist Fisherman Lifejacket (PFD) is designed to provide excellent cockpit management with convenient storage options. It features dual front-mounted tool pouch pockets with protective EVA stiffened outer shells, which not only protect the contents but also act as fold-down workstations.

The Graded Sizing offered by Stohlquist ensures the best fit for a wide range of body types. Each individual size has been fine-tuned and the foam footprint and thickness have been sculpted to provide a better fitting lifejacket.

The innovative Cross-Chest Cinch harness, unique to Stohlquist PFDs, offers a secure fit that keeps the vest down and in place, eliminating ride-up. This feature also prevents chafing on your chin and underarms.

The Fisherman Lifejacket is designed for breathability and mobility, with open sides and adjustable mesh shoulders and back panels that provide maximum ventilation. The higher mesh-back design offers increased clearance for tall seat backs.

The molded EVA pockets on the vest are another convenient feature. These dual front-mounted tool pouch pockets have protective outer shells and can be used as fold-down work surfaces. The pockets measure 7.5" x 7.5" and allow for drainage to prevent water from accumulating.

Stohlquist products, including the Fisherman Lifejacket, are the result of years of paddling experience and the entrepreneurial spirit of founder Jim Stohlquist.
