Rooster Side Zip Buoyancy Aid – Junior – Blue

The Rooster side zip Buoyancy Aid is fully approved and certified CE12402-5 level 50 buoyancy aid, has plenty of features and fit adjustments. We have used a thinner foam throughout to reduce bulk, especially on the back panel (to limit catching your back on the boom). The front panel is segmented into 3 sections for improved fit and comfort around the natural 3d curvature of the body. This buoyancy aid has plenty of pocket storage, featuring a large asymmetric chest pocket with zip entry easily accessible with your right hand perfect for grabbing something last minute when starting on starboard tack when the tiller is in your left hand! There are also 2 small elasticated pockets on the sides for easy-to-grab items.A secret pocket is hidden on the back panel with a Velcro closure, which can allow for heat-transferred team branding without affecting the main buoyancy aid. You could also add a water bladder in this pocket for ultimate adventures – great for on your paddleboard.Please note: Since the UK’s exit from the EU, there are further Buoyancy Aid regulations that will come into play for the UK market from January 2023 onwards. All Rooster buoyancy aids are currently undergoing these tests to make sure that they align with both EN ISO 12402-5:2020 and the new UKCA Module B certification.FeaturesSide zip entry positioned forward for ease of useConcealed adjustable sides through webbing and buckle constructionsSecond adjustment strap and buckle at the hem for further securementCurved fit at center front for the ability to slot trapeze hook through (on shorter torsos or for a high hook position)Durable panel on front webbing to protect from rubbing from trapeze hook (if used in conjunction)Retro-reflective panels on the shouldersLarge asymmetric front zipped pocket with drainage2x small elasticated side pocketsLarge hidden Velcro pocket at the back for the ability to do team brandingBlack panels at the sides and bottom for a smaller, flattering appearanceLong thin fitCE 12402-5 level 50 rated buoyancy aidSize guide30 – 40 kg
