First Watch AB-1100 Flotation Bomber Jacket - Green - Large

The First Watch AB-1100 Flotation Bomber Jacket in Green, Size Large, is built for serious mariners who demand reliable personal flotation and thermal protection in demanding marine environments. Whether you're standing watch in rough seas, working on deck during commercial operations, or running extended fishing trips, this jacket bridges the gap between safety equipment and practical workwear. Cold water and wind exposure can compromise judgment and physical capability within hours—the right flotation jacket isn't a luxury, it's the difference between returning home safely and facing a life-threatening emergency on the water.

Engineered with integrated flotation foam throughout the torso and shoulders, the AB-1100 provides passive buoyancy that keeps you afloat without inflation mechanisms or manual activation—critical when conditions deteriorate rapidly or you're incapacitated. The bomber-style cut offers freedom of movement for deck work, climbing, and hauling, while the durable outer shell sheds spray and wind chill effectively. At 3.5 pounds, the jacket maintains a practical weight that won't exhaust you during extended wear or rapid movement on a heaving deck. The green colorway improves visibility in overcast or low-light conditions common on open water, making you easier to locate in an emergency.

Commercial fishing crews, charter boat captains, deck hands, and serious recreational anglers rely on jackets like the First Watch AB-1100 because passive flotation systems perform when panic or exhaustion sets in. This Large size accommodates layering for cold-water seasons while maintaining mobility. Size Large (16 x 4 x 23 inches when packed) fits standard body frames and works over base layers or light jackets. Every hour on the water—whether in a working boat or pursuing trophy fish offshore—benefits from dedicated flotation garments that eliminate the decision to wear protection when conditions turn hostile.
