Bombora Type III Inflatable Belt Pack - Quicksilver

The Bombora Type III Inflatable Belt Pack in Quicksilver is a United States Coast Guard Approved personal flotation device engineered for water sports enthusiasts who refuse to sacrifice mobility for safety. Weighing just 1.95 lbs with a compact 24-gram inflatable core, this belt pack delivers the flotation you need without the bulk that traditional rigid PFDs impose. Whether you're casting from shallow flats, paddling a kayak, or running a center console in choppy conditions, this Type III PFD keeps you protected without restricting your range of motion.

The belt-pack design distributes buoyancy efficiently around your torso while leaving your arms and shoulders completely free for casting, paddling, or emergency maneuvering. At 10 x 4 x 15 inches, it fits snugly at your waist without interfering with tackle belts, rod holders, or normal fishing gear. The Quicksilver colorway blends naturally with typical boating environments while remaining visible enough for safety purposes. The inflatable configuration means faster deployment and lighter pack weight compared to foam-core alternatives—critical when you're covering multiple spots in a single day or hiking to remote access points.

This belt pack appeals to fishing guides, tournament anglers, paddlers, and casual boaters who prioritize comfort and unencumbered movement. Bombora's Type III lineup is designed specifically for active water sports where you need immediate flotation without the chest or shoulder restrictions of larger jacket-style PFDs. The quick-access belt configuration ensures you can don the device in seconds—essential in situations where deploying a PFD matters most.

Type III PFDs balance safety performance with real-world usability for active water recreation. Unlike Type II devices, Type IIIs are rated for a wider range of water conditions and rescue scenarios. The belt-pack form factor has become the go-to choice for serious anglers and water sports athletes because it provides legally mandated flotation without the dead weight and restricted movement that deters consistent wear.
