WEDNESDAY WISDOM | CHOOSE YOUR PFD
When you're on the water, the right buoyancy aid isn't just about flotation - fit, freedom of movement and the activity you're doing all matter.
Here's a look at some of the options available from Rooster& Zhik:
Rooster

A comfortable, flexible side-entry buoyancy aid with soft foam and a simple zip-and-clip design. A versatile option for sailing and other watersports.
Rooster Diamond Overhead Buoyancy Aid
An overhead 50N buoyancy aid designed with a streamlined profile and contoured fit, making it particularly suited to active dinghy sailing and high-movement watersports.
ZHIK
Zhik P3 PFD
A low-profile, performance-focused PFD with side-zip entry, flexible neoprene shoulders, anti-slip waist grip and a large front pocket. Designed for racing and active watersports.
Zhik Performance Race Cut PFD
A lightweight, race-optimised PFD featuring pre-curved foam, a slim profile, side zip, adjustable waist and internal grip to minimise movement - built for maximum mobility.
Zhik Kollition X Impact PFD
A high-performance PFD combining 50N certified buoyancy with integrated impact protection for the chest and spine. Its low-profile, high-cut design is made for demanding watersports and harness use.
WEDNESDAY WISDOM:
The "best" PFD isn't necessarily the most expensive one - it's the one that's appropriate for your activity, fits correctly and allows you to move freely.
Whether you're sailing, kayaking, paddling or pushing your limits on the water, choose your gear wisely.
