Everyone wants them: New FX PFD and Fuse Cag!

During Paddle Expo, their were two clear favourites from Palm. The brand new FX PFD and the updated Fuse cag.

I used the Fuse as my cag of choice all last year. It looks stunning and for me I need a cag that’ll  keep me dry, but also be lightweight, comfy and give me the best possible freedom of movement. That is the Fuse exactly.

This year Palm have updated the colours to the Aqua/ Lime and Aqua/Sherbet.

What I missed though was a PFD that would match the looks and performance of the Cag. Even the whole industry has lacked any really good looking progressive play/ freeride PFD’s for a long while.

Now that’s finally fixed with the updated FX. Available in Lime, Aqua and Red.

Covered with the same outer layer as the cags it just jumps out at you. You can choose the colours now to make it blend in as if your not wearing anything or stand out like a neon billboard (more my style :-)

Function-wise it’s cut beautifully for freedom of movement, and a close fit for aggressive WW paddling. It has nice comfy soft foam to mould to your shape, quick easy adjustment straps and enough flotation to feel comfortable if you do end up in the water.

I literally can’t wait to get my hands on the Aqua/ Pink FX pfd…

Palm's Designer Barney Caulfield shows his creation

Available in 3 colours: Aqua, Lime and for those who prefer the classics Red

 

Fuse available in Aqua/Sherbet and Aqua/Lime

For next season I picked the Aqua/ Lime for myself

The FX in Aqua/Pink is pretty much my dream PFD. Actually it's the best looking kit I've ever seen.

People were crowding around and taking photos of the FX all the time, it really was the winner of the show.

Now you can have everything matching.
