Palm Glide PFD

A Belt Style Inflatable PFD, perfect for SUPs

The Palm Glide is a waist belt PFD that conceals a 100 N floatation bladder which can be instantly inflated at the pull of a cord when you need it. There is also the option to inflate the Palm Glide by mouth via an airway tube with Halkey Roberts Valve which can be handy if you just want the jacket inflated temporarily as a precaution. This leaves the CO2 Cylinder intact ready for use.

The Palm Glide PFD is perfect for stand up paddle boarding and can be useful for other watersports where a compact solution is required. The Glide has a handy phone sized pocket and D-ring clip points. Sitting comfortably out of the way when not in use‚ the Palm Glide PFD Jacket fits over your head and fastens securely after inflation as shown in the video below.

Unlike some inflatable PFDs the Palm Glide does not auto-inflate when it senses the wearer is immersed! That kind of PFD is not suitable for watersports like paddleboarding, kayaking or canoeing where the wearer might well be in the water several times on a trip but not in need of flotation support.

NOTE: The Glide PFD requires a new CO2 cylinder after each pull cord inflation.
