Kokatat is proud to be the only paddle sports manufacturer to make 100% of their PFDs in the U.S.A.

Thermal-molded and adjustable padded shoulder straps and stretch mesh side panels allow a perfect fit for any paddler. Deep-cut neck and arm holes maximize the range of motion, while a higher and wider back panel provides added coverage.

This durable ABS plastic container is designed to slip easily into a kayak or backpack - each canister holds 4 to 5 person-days of food. Since 1982, Garcia Machine has worked with wildlife specialists to develop light-weight containers that backcountry campers can count on to keep their food safe from bears and other wild animals. Documented studies have shown that the use of these containers has drastically reduced the seriousness and frequency of camper/bear incidents. In many backcountry areas, hanging food has proven ineffective, as the bears have learned how to retrieve food hanging from tree limbs. The Model 812 Backpackers' Cache will keep your food and the bears safe. Food Storage Canister    $73
