First Watch AV-5001 Crew Vest - Hi-Vis Yellow - 2XL/3XL

The First Watch AV-5001 Crew Vest in hi-vis yellow is purpose-built for serious boaters, commercial fishing crews, and anyone who spends extended hours on the water where visibility and comfort matter equally. This 2XL/3XL life vest bridges the gap between safety equipment and practical workwear—delivering reliable buoyancy without the bulk or restriction that compromises your ability to move, cast, or work deck lines effectively.

Built with a breathable mesh backing, the AV-5001 prevents the heat buildup and moisture retention common in traditional crew vests, making it wearable during warm months and active days on deck. The combination of a durable zipper and adjustable straps creates a superb, customizable fit that flexes with your body—critical when you're bending, reaching, and moving around a working boat. Two dedicated storage pockets keep essential gear (radio, knife, sunscreen, or fishing tools) accessible without adding external bulk or compromising your center of gravity on deck.

Professional crew members, charter captains, and recreational anglers in the 2XL/3XL range will find the hi-vis yellow coloring meets USCG visibility standards while remaining comfortable during multi-hour fishing trips or commercial operations. The vest's streamlined design works well over t-shirts or light layers and integrates seamlessly with rain gear when conditions shift. Whether you're running offshore, working in inland waters, or managing a busy boat operation, this crew vest balances safety compliance with the practicality working boaters demand.
