I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Perception Hi-Fi Life Jacket for Adults

The Hi-Fi life jacket features a high-back design and is a perfect fit for a variety kayak seating systems. It has an easy front-zip design with two self-draining zippered pockets for storing essential items and a breathable mesh back and side panels for drainage and ventilation. Reflective piping and trim on front, back and shoulders make for improved visibility while the durable 200 denier nylon shell means this jacket will stand up to the forces of nature.

Why a high back? If your kayak has a backrest or a lawn chair-style seat, a high back PFD generally offers a more comfortable experience because it minimizes the overlap between the PFD and the seat back itself. A full-length PFD is more likely to ride up in this situation.
