It's About Dang Time
Making PFDs has been a personal dream for our co-founder Stig Larsson for a long time. It has been a dream to not only make PFDs but to have the full offering of paddling apparel products that our dealers need. Long story short, you have been asking for it for awhile, and it's about dang time we did it for you.
So for the 2027 season we are proud to announce a full PFD range, top to bottom. Whitewater, sea kayak, touring, rec, with real women's fits on every model, not a shrink-and-pink afterthought. It's the biggest design bet in Level Six history, built the way we build everything now, with PVC-free FREEFLOW foam, recycled fabrics, and zero PFAS. This is the line that completes the kit on your floor, so your paddlers can walk out in Level Six head to toe.

Meet the Thompson and Mattawa: the first harmonized Level 50 PFDs approved on both sides of the border. These bring comfort to another level, designed to make wearing a PFD as unobtrusive as possible. They pull it off by staying extremely low profile while delivering 50 newtons of flotation, safe and comfortable all at once. Because the safest jacket is the one people actually wear and not leave under their seat. This is an exciting whole new category for your customers, harmonized for both Canada and the US in a single SKU.
Ask your local rep about them to schedule a showing and experience the most comfortable PFDs on the market firsthand. Read more about these PFDs in the amazing article by Paddling Mag below.
