If you’re a paddler that teaches others or comes to their rescue should they get into trouble then the Peak UK River Guide Vest is one to add to the kit list. It’s an ISO-approved personal floatation device with an integrated shoulder, harness. The best thing about the Peak River Guide is that once you have adjusted it to fit you, there is no need to alter the straps again and there are no loose bits that can flap about on the wind, which as we all know in the sea there can be a lot of wind. The River Guide is a long standing favourite amongst whitewater paddlers, guides and instructors across the globe.
