The Hiko Guardian 3D life jacket was developed by professionals for the most extreme waters. The result is one of the safest yet most comfortable PFDs — a genuine high-end whitewater life jacket with an excellent value for money! Hiko developed this vest together with kayakers and raft guides, so it sets a very high safety standard. In its details, it's second to no other PFD!
Between the shoulder blades, it's kept as narrow as possible, providing an extreme amount of freedom of movement. Just like the Astral GreenJacket, the Guardian can be fully opened on one side. With three straps on each side, it can be perfectly fitted. Of course there's a large front pocket with space for your smartphone, redirect pulleys and energy bars. The vest also has a knife holder if you want to carry one on the outside. There's even a whistle included! It's cleverly hidden in the left shoulder strap, so it's right at hand when you need it.
With the Guardian 3D, Hiko has succeeded in making a very good PFD for heavy whitewater — at a surprisingly good price! It's now also available in size XS for very light paddlers between 30 and 50 kg!
