Paddling with the new AMP Vest.

Hi Team,

Well after a busy summer of paddling down here in the Southern Hemisphere I finally find myself in front on a computer with some time to report in my new favorite piece of kit from Palm – the all new Amp Vest. I have been a long term user of the Axis Extrem vest and it has served me marvelously well, and seen me through a few fairly sporting swims! Needless to say it was going to require something pretty special to sway me away from the old faithful. What Palm has delivered in the Amp Vest is exactly what was required. Lightweight yet still with plenty of flotation, the Amp will be perfect for everything from a freestyle session in the local hole, to month long expeditions. What has really impressed me with the Amp though is the comfort! I have never experienced a PFD that molds to the body so comfortably and offers unrestricted freedom of movement, Palm have absolutely set the benchmark with the Amp.

Look for footage of the Amp in action on the Red Bull Chronicles – coming to a TV screen near you soon. In the meantime I have attached a short video of myself and the Amp enjoying the last of the NZ summer.

Cheers,
