Solitude Personal Flotation Device - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve helped a lot of paddlers find a better-fitting PFD, and this one stands out for comfort and mobility. The contoured shape eliminates that bulky feeling many paddling vests have, especially when you’re seated in a kayak. I also like the fleece pockets—on cooler mornings they’re great when you’re drifting or taking a quick break."

Long stretches of calm water and quiet shoreline tours call for gear that stays comfortable from launch to landing. The Solitude Personal Flotation Device from Old Town is built for paddlers who want dependable safety without sacrificing freedom of movement. Its high-back design pairs naturally with kayak seats, letting us paddle without flotation bunching behind the seat back or limiting our stroke.

A contoured chest design creates a more natural fit that reduces bulk and improves comfort during long sessions on the water. Durable ripstop nylon construction holds up to repeated paddling trips while lightweight foam provides reliable flotation without unnecessary weight. Zippered storage pockets keep small essentials secure, while fleece-lined handwarmer pockets add comfort during cool mornings or breezy afternoons. Breathable shoulder straps made from perforated neoprene wrapped in mesh add light padding while allowing airflow to move freely as we paddle.
