Yamaha Nylon Side-Entry PFD 18VSE – Black (Small/Medium)
Safety gear shouldn’t feel stiff or get in your way, and this side-entry vest proves it. Yamaha wraps durable, coated nylon around soft foam panels that run across the chest, ribs, and back, giving you Coast-Guard-approved flotation without the bulky “barrel” fit. The side zipper and quick-pull straps let you slip the vest on like a jacket—no wrestling it over your head—and three wide buckles cinch everything down in seconds. The clean black shell pairs easily with any board-short or wetsuit combo and shrugs off UV, salt spray, and locker abuse.
Why you’ll keep reaching for it
-
Side-entry design: zip in from the left, tighten the straps, and you’re ready—easy on and off, even when wet.
-
Triple-buckle security: 1.5-inch webbing locks the vest in place so it won’t ride up if you take a spill.
-
All-around comfort: front, side, and back foam distribute buoyancy evenly and reduce pressure points.
-
Built to last: heavy-duty nylon shell resists fading, tearing, and mildew.
-
Inspection-ready: U.S. Coast Guard approved and UL listed.
Sized SD (SM/MD) for a broad fit range, this PFD keeps you protected and comfortable—so you can focus on enjoying the ride.
