UPANO buoyancy aid vest – The benchmark for whitewater guides
Designed for professional guides and serious whitewater enthusiasts, the UPANO life jacket is a high-end 50N buoyancy aid that combines maximum safety, extreme durability, and complete ergonomics. Ideal for canoeing and kayaking on high-water rivers, it offers all the essential features for safe paddling without compromising freedom of movement.
Made from Cordura® 1000D, an ultra-resistant fabric that withstands abrasion and impacts, and filled with high-density PVC foam, the UPANO life jacket provides balanced and long-lasting buoyancy, conforming to ISO EN 12402-5 and ISO EN 12402-6 standards. Its ergonomic design perfectly conforms to the paddler's torso thanks to multiple adjustments at the shoulders, waist, and hips, offering precise support even in extreme conditions. Its manageable weight of 1.25 kg allows for excellent mobility and extended comfort, even on long outings.
A true all-in-one safety tool, the UPANO features a quick-release waist belt with a trigger ball, a leash equipped with a large-opening carabiner, a knife holder, reinforced shoulders, and numerous well-distributed storage compartments. Every element is designed to guarantee immediate responsiveness in case of need, while leaving the paddler completely free to move.
