Whether going out for a training session or navigating challenging downwind conditions, this PFD offers unparalleled performance combined with the styling you would expect from Vaikobi.

Chief Designer Bart Milczarczyk comments "The V3 PFD design was already great, so it was a cool design challenge to try and improve on this concept. We've enhanced and modernised the vest for people who are into a bit of everything - so the slick racing paddler still has a lightweight comfortable PFD, but the guys and girls setting off on other adventures have extra built-in features like a bit more hydration, room for a phone case, snacks, tool, a radio and more. Basically the V4 offers people more from the one life jacket."
