Palm Rescue Extrem PFD

Palm Rescue Extrem PFD: Professional rescue vest for swiftwater and emergency response teams

Palm Rescue Extrem: The Top Choice for Water Rescue

The Palm Rescue Extrem PFD is designed for the most demanding conditions in swiftwater rescue operations. It offers the perfect balance between a low profile for efficient swimming in strong currents and high buoyancy, which is cleverly distributed across the Flex Fit panels that wrap around the entire torso.

UCLan Chest Harness and Certification for First Responders

Rescue equipment and safety features meet the strictest standards:

• Patented UCLan safety chest harness (GB2492084): This adjustable chest harness with an O-ring and a 50 mm strap is designed for safe belaying, controlled disengagement, and working with a detachable tow rope (cowtail).
• High durability of the components: The shoulder straps are tested to 3.2 kN; the high-quality hardware is made of 7075 aluminum alloy; and the integrated Extract Straps distribute the load throughout the entire harness.
• Strict certifications: The vest meets the EN ISO 12402-5 / 12402-6 standards for swiftwater rescue and is UKCA-certified.

Flex Fit foam, CORDURA® 500D, and removable leg straps

The vest's construction can withstand even the roughest conditions in the riverbed:

• 500D CORDURA® outer fabric: Extremely durable 100% nylon reliably withstands abrasion from rocks, concrete structures, and rescue equipment.
• Gaia Eco-Friendly Filling: High-resilience, PVC-free foam with a long service life and optimal buoyancy.
• Stability in the current: The combination of a 3D anti-ride-up waist belt, Easy Glide straps, and removable leg straps ensures that the vest stays securely in place even when swimming in choppy water.

Modular MOLLE systems, large pocket, and SOLAS reflective elements

The vest offers exceptional options for organizing gear and communication:

• Utility-draw front pocket: A large pocket with internal compartments and a special zipper compatible with a walkie-talkie (radio) antenna. It also features an internal back slip pocket.
• MOLLE-compatible items: The modular layout of the accessories allows you to customize the equipment according to your team's standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Rescue accessories: Rescue knife sleeve, two “Cowtail Park” clips, front and rear Velcro ID panels for name tags or department labels, SOLAS reflective tape, safety whistle, and a unique inventory ID.

What is this vest ideal for?

Thanks to its specialized features, the vest is designed for:

• Swiftwater Rescue / SRT: Safe movement in the current, contact with the person being rescued, anchoring, and pulling loads.
• Firefighters and emergency response teams: Modular MOLLE system, quick donning while wearing gloves (buckle front entry), and high passive visibility.
• Instructors and safety kayakers: A combination of a low profile, high buoyancy, and a well-organized layout of rescue equipment.
