Product Overview
Not for sale online in California.
The Powerboat from Stearns is the original bomber-style flotation jacket providing extra warmth and the buoyancy of a life jacket without sacrificing comfort and mobility.
Constructed from soft, PVC foam that provides 15.5 pounds of buoyancy and a water-resistant nylon coated outer shell offering extreme protection and a great option for deep water use. The slim design features a waist-length cut for freedom of movement while the improved fit around the ribbed knit waistband and wrist cuffs won’t waterlog, ensuring comfort and true-to-form wear in all conditions.
High visibility is achieved by strategically placing SOLAS-grade reflective material on the arms and shoulders. Store your gear in any of the four outside pockets with hook-and-loop closures, the sleeve utility pocket or the inside chest pocket. With an internal adjustable belt and heavy-duty zipper, the Powerboat offers a securely snug fit for your water activities.
