The VXPII PFD Lifejacket is the next evolution of one of Vaikobi’s most popular PFDs, offering a sleeker, faster look, while retaining the trusted performance of the classic VXP side entry pfd. The VXPII combines streamlined styling, increased comfort, and practical functionality for paddlers, foilers and sailors. With a large accessible front storage pocket, integrated hydration compatibility, and thoughtful attachment points, it’s designed to move with your body while keeping you safe and prepared for anything.
The VXP features a large back pocket for a hydration bladder and the new VXP 1L Hydration Bladder fits in the front pocket.
Features
- Progressive styling and reduced windage – Sleek shoulder straps, strap covers, and contrast black panels give a fast, low-profile look while reducing chafe, windage, and interference with harnesses.
- Super soft foam – Provides the ultimate comfort and the buoyancy you need when out on the water.
- Spandex webbing covers – Covers webbing, holds excess in place, and reduces flapping for a smoother, more comfortable and aerodynamic fit.
- Increased reflective detailing – More visibility on shoulder panels for added safety in low light conditions.
- Large front pocket – The large pleat detail expands to accommodate gear, including a 1L Bladder.
- Additional front upgrades – Elastic webbing attachment points allows for accessories, hydration tubes, or lights tailored to sailing needs and a hole in the top of the pocket to allow for greater accessibility to the bladder for the user.
- No side panels – Unrestricted range of motion and maximum breathability and airflow.
- Smooth, close-fit profile – Form-fitting design worn high on the chest.
- Hydration ready: Rear hydration pocket fits a 1.5L Hydration Bladder, and the front pocket fits a 1L Hydration Bladder with a tube opening at the top of the pocket to feed the tube through.
- Large neck and arm openings with no side panels allows for a full range of motion for paddling, foiling, and sailing.
- Adjustable side straps – Customisable firm fit for comfort and security.
