This is Gill's front zip PFD in orange, size L/XL for a 43 to 46 in chest. It is a UL1123 Type III design that is US Coast Guard approved. Entry is by a front zip, and a ladder lock adjustment tightens the fit. The shoulder length is adjustable with neoprene padding, and there are two front zippered pockets.
Our take
The adjustable shoulder length with neoprene padding is the fit feature to note, since a jacket that rides the right way on your shoulders is easier to keep on. It is Type III, with two zippered front pockets for small items.
From our buying guide
US rules count Coast Guard-approved jackets. One approved only to European or ISO standards doesn't meet the US carriage rules, however good it is.
Check before you buy:
- The approval number is on the label, and the jacket fits you as that label marks.
- You're getting the US version, since some jackets are sold in two.
- If it's Level 50, it only counts toward what you must carry when it's worn.
