ISO certified

These PFD's pass ISO 12402-5 (watersports) and ISO 12402-6 (paddlesport) standards. The majority of our PFDs have up to 20% more buoyancy than the ISO/CE standard and our whitewater models have up to 40% more buoyancy than the 50 N required. Palm were the first to make PFDs to these ISO standards, as part of our drive to make safer gear for everyone.

3D anti ride-up waistbelt

A grippy rubber finish prevents your PFD from riding up when in use, and the adjustable waistbelt is positioned on the inside of the buoyancy foam panel for full contact around your waist.

Failsafe shoulder straps

A continuous loop of webbing (tested to 3.2 kN) runs through to the PFD down to the 3D waistbelt for security under load. They tighten without bunching thanks to the enclosed pulley system. Excess webbing can be stored in strap keeper pockets on top of the front panel of the PFD.

• Continuous strap pulley system - Adjustment straps for tightening the shoulder strap are separate. You can be lifted by the shoulder strap, and even if a buckle fails, you’re still securely fastened in.
• Bar tack stitching into 3D waistbelt - Sewn into the 3D waistbelt with bar tack stitching (like the stitching on our Safety Tape). The shoulder straps and waistbelt make a secure harness.
• Exceeds ISO 12402 tests - We test our shoulder straps to failure under wet and dry conditions. All of our Failsafe shoulder strap PFDs such as the FXr are rated to 3.2 kN.
