Kokatat WKNDR PFD

A PFD you actually want to wear is one you'll keep wearing, and that's exactly the thinking behind the Kokatat WKNDR.

Designed for recreational paddlers who spend their weekends on lakes, rivers, and coastal waters, the WKNDR prioritises all-day comfort without cutting corners on fit or safety. Sculpted foam panels wrap around the torso for a snug, body-conforming feel, while padded and adjustable shoulder straps keep things comfortable over long hours on the water. Two side adjustment straps let you dial in a secure fit, and the front-entry zipper makes getting in and out quick and easy.

The back panel is intentionally kept thin and flat, so it sits comfortably against canoe and kayak seatbacks without creating pressure points or pushing you forward in the cockpit. That's a small detail that makes a real difference on a full day out. The foam itself is Gaia PVC-free and PE, a more environmentally responsible choice that Kokatat has built into their lineup. Two large zippered front pockets with internal organisation keep snacks, a phone, or small essentials within easy reach, and handwarmer pockets add a welcome touch of comfort on cooler Canadian mornings on the water.
