Which Buoyancy Aid?

For starters all the buoyancy aids in this section are aimed towards individuals for river paddling. We do also have a comprehensive range of Sea and Touring buoyancy aids and a proven selection of Centre buoyancy aids that are very tough and hardwearing.

Some BAs come with a zip down the front, while others are pulled on over the head. Features to look for include pockets, knife/lash tabs, and adjustment straps for a perfect fit. More advanced paddlers will also want to consider chest harnesses.

For newcomers to the sport who want a basic entry level buoyancy aid with a zip front for the ease entry and release we suggest the Palm Rec Universal (our only universally sized buoyancy aid, it will fit almost all adults) or Yak Kallista Legacy (with tailored sizing and a waist strap for improved fit). Both of these come in a kid-sized version as well. For something with pockets as well, try the Palm Day Tour.

Intermediate paddlers who want something for basic white water could look at over-the-head styles such as the Peak UK River Vest. The Palm Symbiant White Water is another good choice, and is easily compatible with the Palm Symbiant Chest Harness. There are plenty of other choices in there as well!

People who are looking to paddle more challenging water, requiring the best available buoyancy aids, should consider the Nookie Rivermonster, Palm Axis Extrem, or Astral Aquavest 300 (a staff favourite). The Palm Extrem Vest is a good choice if you want a buoyancy aid that is designed and built to the highest specifications for serious paddlers and serious water.

Check out our range of BA-compatible hydration systems, too!

For playboaters who want to get maximum movement for ripping it up at there local playspot such as the Cardiff International White Water Centre we suggest you look at the more compact style buoyancy aids such as the Palm Helix or the Peak UK Airlite vest both of these are vests designed with the freedom of movement which is required for playboating.
