The Journey and the Journey SE are perfect for recreational paddling and sailing because they are so lightweight, contoured to fit like a glove, and totally open on the sides. It's our lightest vest of all - tipping the scales at less than 1 lb. A top choice for triathletes, dragon boat teams, and adventure racers. The 3D contoured front chest panels wrap around the torso. The soft shoulders trimmed with reflective for don't rub or chafe. The SE has a stretch mesh pocket and includes a signaling whistle - a Coast Guard requirement in some areas. PVC free.
