Some buoyancy aids are made with inferior interior foam which can compress and degrade over time. Extrasport however never compromise on quality and only use high specification PVC foam inside a Ripstop UV resistant outer cover. These PFDs also come with YKK zips which are easy to fasten and resistant to salt and fresh water corrosion.

The large arm holes keep the bulk of the flotation away from the shoulders and upper chest to give a full range of arm and upper body movement while paddling. On a sunny day if you fancy a dip you can also swim comfortably in them and get back on board a sit-on-top easily. Comfort is also particularly important for youngsters because if a buoyancy aid fits well they will wear it and that’s key to getting them enjoying water activities safely. Junior models come with detachable leg straps to prevent the buoyancy aid riding up when in the water and the attractive red and yellow colour scheme means they are highly visible. The multi-adjustable shoulder and waist straps also allow for close fitting at all stages of growth.
