DESCRIPTION
The Performance Race Cut USCG PFD represents the next evolution in Zhik’s iconic performance line, delivering unmatched fit, comfort, and functionality. Expertly honed over 20 years, this PFD refines what made the original a favourite among sailors, while introducing advanced features for the modern athlete.
Its low-profile design enhances mobility, with increased front buoyancy and reduced back buoyancy for better balance and a streamlined fit. Pre-shaped, dual-compound foam panels contour perfectly to the body, while neoprene side panels create a smooth, aerodynamic finish. Reinforced webbing on the shoulder straps adds durability, and the super-soft neoprene shoulders ensure lasting comfort during intense sessions.
Practical and performance-driven, the Race Cut USCG PFD includes a side zip for easy wear, an adjustable waistband with a secure buckle, and a nonslip internal band to prevent ride-up. A Velcro-entry stretch chest pocket offers convenient storage, complete with drainage holes to keep gear dry.
With its tailored fit, cutting-edge materials, and trusted USCG certification, the Race Cut USCG PFD is the ultimate choice for competitive sailors and water sports enthusiasts seeking elite-level performance.

This life vest has been such an improvement over my old one when I'm out sailing. I really like how lightweight and comfortable. This one is. The pocket on the front of this lifejacket is perfect for holding valuables. The adjustable straps on the side make it very comfortable. Overall quality of this lifejacket is excellent.

Well made and nice new design
Verified Buyer - Grant G.
Great product. I may not 100% enjoy the "spandex" style, flexible chest flap/pocket. Whie super slim and tight, a little more space would be nice. Previously I"ve used that space at super windy regattas to hod my hand-held VHF radio in order to hear the RC. Not sure it will fit now. . . but otherwise fits well.
