Whitewater Buoyancy Aids      Safety Gear     Dry Bags
(click on the links above to scroll down)

 

°hf is one of the top European manufacturers for paddling gear. They offer a good range of safety gear (throwbags, carabiners, pulleys) and a specialised whitewater buoyancy aid which is all proven in the extremes and used by top paddles such as Alan Ellard, Mike Abbott, Arnd Schäftlein and the Kern brothers, just to mention a few.
Dry Bags that keep equipment and clothing dry in kayaks and on rafts are available in two different materials and a vast choice of sizes.

°hf Serpent Vest

A functional, modern whitewater and rescue PFD. Designed with a side entry zip, it's comfortable and easy to put on. Its short cut offers non-restrictive fit without compromising the buoyancy. Large zippered frontpocket with attachment point inside and two smaller pockets with velcro closure. The rescue harness is removable (allows more freedom for those radical rodeo moves) and cowtail can be attached to the vest. Fully integrated body harness built into the lifejacket. Padded shoulder straps with reflective cover.
Made, like all other °hf B/Aids, from 500 denier Cordura® fabric.
