Baltic know that the best personal floatation devices are always the ones that get worn, so they've designed the SUP Elite and SUP Pro specifically for SUPrs. They're designed to make climbing back on your board easier and have a cut which allows full movement when you're paddling, making them super comfortable to wear.
The SUP Elite comes with storage and the ability to add a hydration pack
