Chief Designer Bart Milczarczyk comments "The V3 PFD design was already great, so it was a cool design challenge to try and improve on this concept. We've enhanced and modernised the vest for people who are into a bit of everything - so the slick racing paddler still has a lightweight comfortable PFD, but the guys and girls setting off on other adventures have extra built-in features like a bit more hydration, room for a phone case, snacks, tool, a radio and more. Basically the V4 offers people more from the one life jacket."
