Kent Mesh Classic Commercial Vest - Large - Orange

The Kent Mesh Classic Commercial Vest in Large, International Safety Orange (SKU CW98097) is a USCG Type III personal flotation device engineered for water-based commercial and recreational applications. The polyethylene foam construction combined with mesh paneling across the shoulders, back, and sides delivers the thermal management needed for extended wear in warm-weather conditions without sacrificing buoyancy performance or visibility.

The vest features dual 1-inch encircling belts with heavy-duty zipper closure for secure, adjustable fit across the torso. Hidden belt design minimizes snag points during water entry and rescue scenarios. Retroreflective material positioned on front and back shoulders ensures high visibility in low-light conditions—critical for commercial marine operations, offshore work, or recovery situations. The orange colorway exceeds USCG visibility standards and remains easily identifiable in water and on deck.

This vest suits commercial fishermen, water rescue personnel, maritime industry workers, and serious recreational boaters who prioritize all-day comfort without compromising coast guard compliance. The mesh construction prevents heat buildup during active work cycles, while the Type III rating provides adequate flotation for calmer waters and nearshore operations. Large sizing accommodates layered commercial clothing typical of marine environments.

Kent Sporting Goods positions this model as an entry-to-mid-tier commercial PFD for operators seeking USCG compliance and visibility without premium material costs. The polyethylene foam is corrosion-resistant and accepts freshwater or saltwater exposure typical of working watercraft environments.
