A benchmark by which all whitewater PFDs are judged, the legendary Extrem is a well loved friend – one that will keep you safe wherever you choose to go. The original wrap design, it buckles up fast and thanks to its Flex Fit, conceals large amounts of foam floatation. With upgraded pocket configuration, a UCLan adjustable harness (following chest harness best practice) and aluminium hardware it’s ready to carry on the journey.

PFD buoyancy label
A correct fit is more important than choosing the buoyancy category according to your weight. All Palm PFDs have buoyancy above the minimum floatation required for CE/ISO certification. PFD weight ranges are printed inside Palm PFDs on the ISO label.
