First Watch AC-1100 Flotation Coat - Red/Black - Large

The First Watch AC-1100 Flotation Coat in Red/Black, Large is a purpose-built marine survival garment designed for anyone working on deck or standing watch in cold, rough water conditions. This flotation coat combines thermal protection with passive flotation capability, making it essential safety gear for offshore fishing, commercial boating, and maritime work where unexpected water immersion is a real risk.

The AC-1100 is engineered with integrated flotation material throughout the torso and shoulder area, providing buoyancy without the bulk of traditional inflatable PFDs. The large size accommodates layered clothing underneath, allowing you to maintain core warmth while retaining full mobility for boat handling, fishing, and deck work. The red-and-black colorway provides high visibility on the water while maintaining a professional appearance. At 4.6 lbs, the coat remains manageable for extended wear, and the compact packaged dimensions (14 x 4 x 24 inches) reflect a design optimized for the confined spaces typical of fishing vessels and offshore platforms.

This flotation coat is built for anglers and deck crews who need reliable water safety without sacrificing functionality. Whether you're running offshore charters, commercial fishing, or spending long hours aboard in unpredictable conditions, the AC-1100 provides passive flotation that works immediately—no inflation, no battery, no moving parts to fail. The Red/Black colorway ensures visibility to rescue personnel while fitting seamlessly into professional maritime operations and recreational boating environments alike.

First Watch has established itself as a trusted name in marine safety apparel, with products designed and tested in real offshore conditions. The AC-1100 represents the balance between passive protection and practical utility—it works whether you need it or not, adding nothing to your workflow while standing ready if conditions deteriorate or an unexpected event occurs. For serious boaters and commercial mariners, this is the kind of unobtrusive, always-ready safety investment that becomes standard issue.
