First Watch AC-1100 Flotation Coat - Hi-Vis Yellow - Large

The First Watch AC-1100 Flotation Coat in Hi-Vis Yellow is a dual-purpose marine safety garment engineered for deck workers, commercial fishermen, and recreational boaters who require both thermal protection and reliable flotation when conditions deteriorate. This large-sized flotation coat combines insulated weatherproofing with integrated buoyancy to keep wearers alert, warm, and afloat during emergency situations on the water.

The AC-1100 delivers superior flotation performance through inherent buoyancy materials that activate immediately without requiring inflation or manual deployment—critical when water immersion happens suddenly. The hi-vis yellow colorway meets visibility standards for commercial maritime operations and recreational use, ensuring that wearers remain visible to rescue personnel and other vessels in low-light or offshore conditions. Wind and water resistance protect against the constant exposure of working on open deck, while the 3.6 lb weight keeps the coat manageable during long shifts without sacrificing thermal mass in cold water environments.

This flotation coat is designed for serious water users: commercial fishing crews, offshore oil and gas personnel, coast guard auxiliary members, and dedicated saltwater anglers who spend extended hours exposed to maritime conditions. Unlike casual life jackets, the AC-1100 functions as both active workwear and emergency safety equipment, eliminating the need to don separate flotation devices when conditions require it. The large sizing accommodates layering underneath during cold-season deployment, a practical requirement for anyone working extended shifts on northern waters or winter fishing operations.
