Hobie Mirage Passport 12.0 is very similar to the Passport 10.5, but with extra features that make it an ideal ride for anglers looking for a pedal kayak that’s capable of going anywhere. The Passport is a bit larger than it’s smaller counterpart and is geared more toward fishing with things like a transducer scupper.

Stohlquist Escape Youth is based on the popular Escape PFD. This youth version is designed for young or smaller paddlers who don’t quite fit the adult model. Soft foam on the front and rear panels help the Escape Youth to conform to a range of body shapes, fitting comfortably and securely while staying out of the way. It gives you support but does not interfere with your paddling.
As you get warmer, the temptation is always there to take off your PFD and cool down, remove the bulk and the discomfort. The Astral Linda is so lightweight and ventilated that you’ll barely even notice you’re wearing it. A ventilated strip in the center of the back panel and the breathable mesh panelling throughout the whole vest allows loads of airflow to keep you cool.
NRS Ion focuses on functional comfort. However there is a little more flair to this PFD than to the Vapor model. It retains the comfortable six-panel construction to be a figure hugging and comfortable fit, with a low cut design so you can move freely on the water.
The Perception Outlaw 11.5 fishing kayak was designed to be disruptive in every way. With its great stability, very high seat, and a walkable open deck, it is a very interesting fishing platform at a great price point 🏅.

NRS Chinook is the world’s best selling angling PFD, and it’s easy to see why. A high back design is usually favored for kayak fishing, where the top end kayaks have highly evolved, supportive and comfortable seats. The mesh back is great for long days on the water too, not only allowing you to stay cool as you fish, but maximizing movement for both paddling and fishing.
