straps and stretch mesh side panels allow a perfect fit for any paddler.

SeaO2
|
The SeaO2 by Kokatat is the first UL-approved hybrid inflatable PFD designed
for paddle sports - 7.5 to 22.5 lbs of floatation in three seconds! Paddle
comfortably even while the SeaO2 is inflated. Open back design accommodates
the taller seat backs found in many kayaks. Oral inflate/deflate tube allows
you to adjust the amount of flotation while paddling, and the flotation chamber
can be inflated, deflated and rearmed without removing the life vest. Three
16-gram CO2 cylinders and three indicator pins included (additional kits
sold separately.) This comfortable PFD packs smaller for traveling and you
can leave the CO2 cylinders at home and rely on oral inflation when traveling
by air. Sizes: S/M; L/XL. Colors: Mango, Orange, Cobalt. In stock.

Finally, a safe and effective signaling device that you can
carry on airlines when you're flying to your destination. The Rescue Laser
Flare (RLF) is a revolutionary hand-held signaling device that produces
an expanding directional beam of bright-red light visible for up to 20 miles
during optimum conditions. The RLF is waterproof to 80 feet and can operate
for 15 hours on two easily replaced AA alkaline batteries. The magnum-size
RLF is 6.25 inches long and 0.75 inches in diameter and it weighs just five
ounces - small enough to carry in a PFD pocket.
Made from rugged Delrin® plastic to prevent corrosion in a marine
environment, the RLF is non-flammable and non-hazardous making it a much
safer alternative to conventional pyrotechnic flares. You can turn it on
and off as many times as necessary. Batteries included.

Bear-resistant food storage
canister
 |
These bear-resistant containers are expert tested (by bears) and have proven
effective in keeping even the hungriest bears out of your food supply.
The Model 812 Backpackers' Cache by Garcia Machine is 8.8" in diameter by
12" long, and it weighs 2.7 pounds. 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

Brunton Eterna 8 X 25
Binoculars
We finally found the perfect binoculars for kayak trips. These
high resolution, fully multi-coated, BaK-4 roof prism binoculars are nitrogen-filled and completely waterproof and fog proof. They are powerful
enough to enjoy viewing distant wildlife, but not too powerful to preclude
use from your kayak under most conditions. Built-in lens caps protect the
precision lenses when you toss these binoculars into your deck bag or pack. Small
enough to fit into a PFD pocket, these binoculars offer excellent image quality
and good light gathering capabilities. Long eye relief (18.5 mm) allows viewing
while wearing eyeglasses.
Size - 4.75" x 3.75" x 1.75"; Weight - 12 oz.

Primus OmniFuel Stove
.jpg) |
This is a great stove!
We have had good success taking it
on planes and purchasing fuel canisters at our paddling
destination. It is the most advanced
Primus stove - perfect for multi-day trips and traveling in foreign countries.
Runs on white gas, unleaded gasoline, butane or propane gas canisters,
diesel, and other petroleum-based fuels. The newly designed
burner has a pre-heating system that saves fuel and minimizes the priming
time. Durable tripod legs and non-slip pot supports provide a stable
cooking platform. The adjustable flame goes from a simmer to a virtual
blow torch. Turning the liquid fuel bottle upside down turns off the stove
and burns the remaining fuel in the fuel line to prevent spills and flare-ups.
Comes with three interchangeable jet nipples for optimal combustion of different
fuels.
Includes a sturdy aluminum pump, a multi-purpose cleaning tool, a windscreen,
and a handy nylon/neoprene case with tool pocket . (Fuel bottles must be
purchased separately.)
Dimensions packed: 6.5"x 3.5"x 3.4". Output: 3,000 W/ 10,500 BTU.
Weight: 14.4 oz. (without pump), 19.0 oz. (with pump).
