Kokatat Unisex Hustle Life Vest

Premium Life Vest for Kayaking, SUP & Paddlesports 

The Kokatat Hustle Life Vest delivers exceptional comfort, security, and functionality for serious paddlers. Engineered with dual-certified Coast Guard and Transport Canada approval, this versatile PFD combines innovative GAIA PVC-free foam construction with practical features that keep you safe and organized on the water.

Fit and Comfort

Two stacked and sculpted GAIA PVC-free and PE foam panels wrap and float around the torso to allow optimal fit on varied torso sizes, providing all-day comfort. The sculpted foam design moves with your body, eliminating pressure points during extended paddling sessions while maintaining 16 oz. of buoyancy across all sizes.

Adjustable padded shoulder straps and three side adjustments ensure a secure, customized fit that won't ride up during active paddling. The side-entry design makes getting in and out quick and effortless, whether you're launching from shore or taking a break on the water.

Storage & Organization

A large clamshell front pocket with two-way zipper allows for internal organization and keeps essential items securely inside. Store your phone, snacks, sunscreen, and safety gear within easy reach. The front lash tab provides convenient attachment for a rescue knife or other safety equipment.

Durable Construction

Covered in durable 210D high-tenacity ripstop nylon, the Hustle is built to withstand the rigors of whitewater rapids, rocky put-ins, and years of hard use. The GAIA PVC-free and PE foam construction delivers reliable flotation without harmful chemicals, making it a more environmentally conscious choice for paddlers who care about the waters they explore.

Dual Certification for North America

This Life Vest is certified for use in both the US (by The US Coast Guard) and Canada (by Transport Canada). You do not need to select a certification. The life vest is dual certified for both countries.
