PeakUKTourlite Zip PFD
www.peakuk.com
By Peter Tranter

Don’t know about you but I always
prefer a zip entry PFD and the Peak UK
Tourlite Zip has a centre access zip
making it really easy to get on and off,
which means we are off to a good start.
I’ve been using it at SUP events where its
excellent for use on a sit-on-top, with it’s huge
twin zipped front pockets ideal for easy access
to my phone for contact with those on terra
firma whilst taking photos of the competitors.
I will sometimes use the phone for either video
or photo and therefore it’s handy to have lash
tabs inside the pockets to thread the Aquapac
tie through, just in case I drop it in the drink!
As a back up to a zip failure, the vest has buckles
top and bottom, with the top buckle also
containing an in-built rescue whistle. The usual
adjustment is provided for the shoulder straps
but more unusually is that the hip strap is
adjusted internally which leaves less strapping
flapping around.
Brightly coloured in vibrant orange
with plenty of reflective piping
will ensure you will always be
spotted.
