Really well Made PFD
After looking online at many reviews I opted for the Kaikoura PFD, It didn’t disappoint in that it obviously does what its supposed to do but also fits really well ands lots of nice features like pockets for radios, PLB’s and other essentials, also a water bladder pocket in the back and hand warmer pockets. Good adjustability in the webbing for fitment, price is a little on the high side but all day comfort is paramount.
Dug –
Bit on the pricey side, but does everything well.
Have been using this for a month now and it works weel. Boyancy, fit, accessories, pockets etc, all good. The one thing I would wish for is a guide to beginners like me. Not sure how I would attach a quick-release knife and I don’t know which straps to use for attaching a rescue line etc. To be clear this isn’t a criticism as the PFD is intended for users who know what they need. All round good product:-)
John Roelich (verified owner) –
The Kaikora ticked all of the boxes for a replacement PFD. Quality of the product is first class and it fits really well. NE Kayaks service is excellent and the price of the PFD was the best on the market. I really like dealing with NE Kayaks, their product range is brilliant and their service is absolutely first class
