Yak High Back 50N

Yak High Back: A comfortable vest for hiking and sea kayaking

Raised back panel for maximum comfort in the seat

The main advantage of the Yak High Back model is its ingeniously shaped design with a shortened, or rather with a raised rear panel. This design is specifically developed for kayaks and canoes with a high backrest. The foam in the back does not extend all the way down, so the vest rests against the seat above the level of the backrest, which completely eliminates the vest from riding up and prevents uncomfortable pressure points during long paddling sessions.

Breathable materials and a double-adjustable waistband

The vest combines top-notch ergonomics with a focus on thermal comfort on hot summer days:

• Breathable mesh: The bottom of the vest and the inner panels are made of breathable mesh fabric, which ensures excellent air circulation and keeps you cool even on the hottest days.
• Double waist adjustment: It allows for very precise and independent adjustment at the waist, ensuring that the vest fits perfectly and doesn't slip.
• Adjustable arms: The sturdy shoulder straps allow you to adjust the overall length of the vest to fit your body proportions.

Storage Space and Safety Features

Yak High Back also considers the practical aspects of gear for longer trips:

• Extra-large front pocket: A spacious zippered pocket holds all the essentials you need to have right at your fingertips (such as a snack, a map, a compass, or small electronic devices).
• Many anchor points: It allows you to securely attach additional accessories, such as a knife, a whistle, or a waterproof case.
• Reflective elements: Strategically placed reflective details increase your visibility at dusk or in low-light conditions.

What is this vest ideal for?

Thanks to its hiking-oriented design, this vest is suitable for:

• Sea Kayaking and Ocean Tourism: The perfect choice for long days in a sea kayak with a high backrest.
• Recreational and Long-Distance Canoeing: Maximum comfort for all-day seating in a boat on calm rivers and reservoirs.
• Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP): Breathability and freedom of movement in the shoulders for a comfortable ride.
