KayakDave.com would like to thank MTI Adventurewear owners Lili & Gordon Colby for their generous donation of a Slipstream lifejacket for use with the Duct Tape Kayak. MTI has been a proud sponsor of Heroes on the Water for many years and we’re very excited to be working together with such a great company in support of this important cause! Thanks, MTI!
MTI Adventurewear is a small, family-owned company located in Plympton, MA that has been in the business of designing lifejackets for the past 20 years. Their product line includes dozens of styles that are tailor-made to keep you comfortable and safe on the water whether it be kayaking, fishing, SUPing, or otherwise! Be sure to visit their website to find a dealer near you!
Their Slipstream lifejacket was designed by sea kayakers for sea kayakers. This athletically-cut lifejacket is packed full of great features including: hand-warmer pockets, a radio pocket, and solas reflective tape on the front and back. I had the chance to try it out on the pond this afternoon and I was really impressed with its form and function; it was so comfortable that I almost forgot I had it on! There’s no doubt that Alex will enjoy wearing the Slipstream when he races the Duct Tape Kayak this season and our readers should expect a full-review of this great product once we have a little more time with it!
