First Watch AB-1100 Flotation Bomber Jacket - Orange/Grey - Small

The First Watch AB-1100 Flotation Bomber Jacket in Orange/Grey, Size Small, is purpose-built for serious mariners who demand reliable personal flotation combined with weather protection. Whether standing watch during extended passages, working on deck in heavy seas, or conducting search and rescue operations, this jacket bridges the critical gap between safety gear and practical clothing. Designed for professionals and recreational boaters alike, the AB-1100 delivers the peace of mind needed to stay focused on the task at hand when conditions deteriorate.

The AB-1100 integrates inherent flotation technology throughout its construction, providing buoyancy assistance without the bulk or weight penalty of traditional foam vests. The bomber-style cut and durable nylon shell offer genuine wind and spray protection—essential when working forward on deck or in open cockpits where hypothermia becomes a genuine threat during extended operations. The high-visibility orange exterior with grey accents ensures you remain spotted by crew and rescue assets in low-light conditions, while the compact packed weight of just 3 pounds means the jacket stays wearable and accessible even during long watch rotations.

Commercial fishermen, charter captains, and coastal cruisers rely on the AB-1100 to remain safe during man-overboard drills and unexpected emergencies without sacrificing mobility or comfort during normal operations. The Small size delivers a precise fit for shorter-framed adults and younger crew members, ensuring the jacket stays in place and flotation zones remain positioned correctly. This is the gear choice for anyone who understands that true maritime safety starts with clothing that works as hard as you do.
