Do I need F.A.S.T in both my pant and jacket?Updated 5 months ago

Yes - it is extremely important to wear both a F.A.S.T equipped jacket & pant for several reasons:

  • F.A.S.T in the jacket and pant are essential to providing the crucial buoyancy required to lift the wearers legs upward when exiting the water. 
  • F.A.S.T items feature Rapid Drain inserts allowing water to exit quickly, as each gallon of water absorbed is equal to an additional 10lbs of weight. 
  • Once out of the water, F.A.S.T retains its flexibility allowing ease of movement & thermal properties to keep body temperature from dropping, giving the rider the best chance to seek warmth & shelter.
