Product Review: Misty PFD by Stohlquist

 Stohlquist Misty PFD

New for 2015 is the women specific Misty PFD.

During March ALL Misty PFD's are 15% off! 

This PFD offers Graded Sizing.  This a new feature that currently only Stohlquist is offering.  Graded sizing offers the best possible fit, with the lowest footprint possible, for the widest range of body types.  Each individual size of jacket is proportionately sized for the paddler.  Stohlquist has sculpted the foam footprint, and foam thickness to provide a betting fitting, and more comfortable PFD.  This allows them to fit young, smaller framed paddlers up to larger adults in the same style vest, while offering identical mobility and a low profile fit across the size range.


The Misty has thinner back floatation which makes this PFD extremely comfortable with boats with a higher seat back like a recreational kayak or even a backrest in a canoe.  Large pockets allow the paddler to carry all sorts of items.  It even has a built in beverage holder!

Front pocket has mesh attachment to hold a small beverage.

2 front pockets have ample room to carry a snack, sunscreen, phone, camera, and car keys!
