First Watch FW-330 Inflatable PFD - Hi-Vis Yellow - Automatic

The First Watch FW-330 Inflatable PFD in Hi-Vis Yellow is purpose-built for recreational boaters, anglers, and water sports enthusiasts who demand reliable flotation without bulk or restriction. This automatic inflatable design delivers Coast Guard–approved protection while remaining compact enough to wear comfortably under a shirt or stowed without sacrificing cabin space—ideal for tournaments, coastal runs, or casual days on the lake.

The FW-330 uses an automatic inflation mechanism that deploys the internal bladder upon water immersion, providing immediate flotation support without manual activation or breath inflation. The hi-vis yellow colorway is a critical safety feature that makes you visible to other vessels and rescue personnel in low-light conditions or rough water. Weighing approximately 2 lbs, this PFD packs down to a compact 12 x 2 x 18 inches, making it practical for storage on smaller boats, kayaks, or as a backup life jacket for charter and rental operations.

Anglers working offshore or inshore environments benefit most from this design—the streamlined profile keeps you mobile whether you're standing in a poling skiff or casting from a bigger center console. The automatic gas cartridge system ensures consistent, reliable deployment every time, providing peace of mind while enjoying your time on the water.
