RIVERMONSTER XT
Whitewater & Rescue Buoyancy Aid

Adjust your vest the first time you wear it and never need to again. Or tweak the fit for a different person, season, layering - instantly. Punch and carve down a class V canyon with the unrestricted kinetic ability of a slalom paddler. Inspect a hard-to-see rapid from an overhang, clipping in and out of belay without a fuss. Organise and access must-have tools one handed and without fiddly zips or velcro. Configure the chest belt for auto, positive, or zero release (more info here). Strap into a sling harness for an abseil or a rescue. Swim passively or aggressively with intelligently distributed high level flotation. Clamber onto rocks or rafts unhindered, with a completely smooth front panel free of protruding pockets. Be confident with unsurpassed critical (clavicle, kidney) impact protection, and the continuous seat-belt webbing internal harness. Be seen and safe...

* Experienced persons can tether the buoyancy aid to a sit harness or crotch straps so that it cannot be pulled off. The immense strength of the buoyancy aid internal structure would be of no use without this system because the buoyancy aid could simply be pulled off as the wearer's body starts to deform significantly at forces in excess of 1.4KN (150kg vertical weight equivalence).
