PFDs by Kokatat

Top Quality & Outstanding Fit —
We carry a variety of Kokotat vests. Padling requires a non-binding fit, and these top-quality vests are highly adjustable, fitting a wide range of body shapes and sizes: come try one on today.

The MsFit and Orbit are just two of the many styles we carry —


MsFit Tour Lifevest: Designed for female sea kayakers with a contoured, princess-seam foam cut for superior anatomic fit and comfort. While designed for women, the MsFit Tour is an excellent choice for men too. Scott (secure in his masculinity and in touch with his feminine side) currently wears the MsFit tour.Kokatat MsFit PFD

Ergonomic and innovative components such as thermoformed, padded Hypalon® shoulders, 3 side adjustments & quick-release waist closure, clip-on tabs for accessories and superlative construction methods set the standard in modern PFD design. Made with GAIA® PVC-free foam.
