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

The First Watch AC-1100 Flotation Coat in Red/Black, Small (AC-1100-RB-S) is a dual-purpose marine safety layer designed for crew working on deck in cold, wet, and demanding conditions. Built with integrated flotation technology, this coat delivers active insulation while providing USCG-approved buoyancy as a backup safety measure—combining weatherproofing and life-saving flotation into a single garment that performs equally well whether you're standing watch in rough seas or responding to an emergency.

The Small size fits a range of body types while the red-and-black colorway maximizes visibility on deck, a critical safety feature when working near water. Weighing just 3 pounds, the AC-1100 avoids the bulk and drag of heavier traditional flotation vests, allowing crew to move freely while maintaining full functionality. The coat's construction prioritizes both thermal protection and rapid water shedding—essential for preventing heat loss and hypothermia during extended water exposure. First Watch engineered this model with Supersof flotation material, which softens and compresses in actual water contact, enabling the wearer to move naturally even while floating.

This coat serves commercial fishing crews, recreational boaters, and water-safety-conscious anglers who spend hours exposed to spray, wind, and cold. It's ideal for anyone operating small craft, working on larger vessels, or fishing in offshore conditions where cold-water immersion risk exists. Rather than choosing between comfort and safety, the AC-1100 eliminates that tradeoff—crew can layer it over regular clothing without sacrificing mobility or abandoning proven flotation technology. USCG approval and integrated buoyancy mean this coat meets federal safety standards while remaining practical enough for daily deck work.
