The Palm Centre vest is a pullover buoyancy aid designed for schools, group and centre use. Made with a durable CORDURA shell, easy to adjust strapping and quickly identifiable colour-coded size labelling. This makes it easy for professional centres to identify simply by glancing at the colour without trying to find the sizing tab adding speed and efficiency to getting groups ready to hit the water.
I am certified
These PFDs pass ISO 12402-5 (water sports) and ISO 12402-6 (paddlesport) standards. The majority of our PFDs have up to 20% more buoyancy than the ISO/CE standard and our whitewater models have up to 40% more buoyancy than the 50 N required. Palm were the first to make PFDs to these ISO standards.
CORDURA fabric
Fabric with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, and high resistance to tears and abrasion. We use CORDURA® for the seat and knee areas of technical outerwear and for other high wear gear such as PFDs and throwlines.
Colour coded sizing
These garments are colour coded according to size, to make fitting easy for centre or commercial use. Green markings for youth; red for small; blue for medium; yellow for large; and orange for extra large.

Free Range Sizing
In the Palm range of kit if you fit a medium jacket, it's likely you will also fit a medium in the rest of their thermals, pants and Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs) – but everyone is different. Nothing beats actually trying on this gear for true size and fit, and also the comfort factor is very important if you are going to be wearing it all day.
Weight – include all the gear you’ll be wearing too. PFD buoyancy label: A correct fit is more important than choosing the buoyancy category according to your weight. All Palm PFDs have buoyancy above the minimum floatation required for CE/ISO certification.
