Old Town

Solitude Personal Flotation Device - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve recommended this to a lot of paddlers who spend hours in kayaks or canoes with seat backs. The high-back cut keeps the flotation from bunching up behind you, which makes a big difference on long paddles. I also like the fleece-lined pockets—they’re great for warming your hands on chilly mornings while drifting or taking a break."

Quiet mornings on the lake and steady miles down a winding river call for gear that stays comfortable from launch to takeout. The Solitude Personal Flotation Device from Old Town is built for paddlers who spend real time on the water, whether we’re exploring hidden coves, cruising along calm shorelines, or settling into the rhythm of a long touring day. Its high-back design pairs naturally with kayak and canoe seats so we can paddle without bulky foam pressing against the back of the seat.

Comfort and durability keep our attention on the water instead of our gear. A ripstop nylon shell stands up to seasons of paddling trips while lightweight foam provides dependable flotation without unnecessary bulk. Zippered storage pockets keep small essentials secure, and fleece-lined handwarmer pockets offer welcome comfort during cool mornings or breezy afternoons. Perforated neoprene shoulder straps wrapped in breathable mesh add light padding while allowing airflow to move freely through long days on the water.
