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 true high-end whitewater life jacket with excellent value for money! Hiko developed this vest in collaboration with kayakers and raft guides, ensuring a very high safety standard. In its details, it is second to none!
Between the shoulder blades, it's kept as narrow as possible. This allows for exceptional freedom of movement. Like the
Astral GreenJacket, the Guardian can be fully opened on one side. Three straps on each side ensure a perfect fit. There's a large front pocket, perfect for a smartphone, pulleys, and energy bars. The vest also features a knife attachment point for external carry. And there's even a whistle included! It's cleverly concealed in the left shoulder strap, so it's always readily available when needed.
With the Guardian 3D, Hiko has succeeded in producing a very good life jacket for challenging whitewater. Despite this, it offers surprisingly excellent value for money! It is now also available in size XS for very light paddlers between 30 and 50 kg!
