HIKO SALUKI PFD

Originally built for canoe slalom SALUKI's purpose evolved with the sport. When ICF allowed part of floatation below the waist, the world competition of canoe slalom was taken over by JACKPOTS. Only few years later kayak cross became Olympic discipline with its own equipment standars. Featuring unparallel mix of body coverage, comfort and mobility, SALUKI immediately qualifies as the top PFD for competitive kayak cross. Aside from kayak cross SALUKI remains the perfect choice for canoe slalom beginners.
