First Watch AB-1100 Flotation Bomber Jacket - Navy Blue - Medium

The First Watch AB-1100 Flotation Bomber Jacket in Navy Blue is purpose-built for serious anglers and boaters who demand reliable flotation without sacrificing mobility or comfort on the water. Whether you're working a dawn bite from a center console, wade fishing coastal flats, or running offshore for tuna, this jacket delivers the passive safety net every experienced waterman knows is non-negotiable. First Watch has engineered this flotation bomber to balance professional-grade buoyancy with the natural movement patterns anglers need when setting hooks, fighting fish, or handling deck operations.

The AB-1100 uses integrated flotation foam distributed throughout the core and shoulders to provide consistent lift without rigid panels that restrict casting or shoulder rotation. The navy blue colorway blends functionality with a professional appearance suitable for both recreational and charter boat environments. Constructed with durable marine-grade materials, the jacket's design minimizes bunching at the waist and keeps the flotation collar positioned correctly even during active movement, ensuring the buoyancy chambers remain where they're needed most—supporting the head and chest in an emergency.

Anglers operating in offshore waters, Gulf Coast environments, or any scenario involving open-water exposure benefit most from this flotation system, particularly those who spend 8+ hours per day on the water or guide clients where safety compliance is mandatory. The medium sizing accommodates the broad-shouldered build typical of active boaters and works equally well as a layering piece under foul-weather gear during cooler months. Coast Guard approval and industry-standard flotation performance make this jacket an essential component of any serious angler's safety arsenal, worn as regularly as a life jacket on vessels where immersion risk is present.
