Palm FX PFD – First Look

I had a close look at the Palm FX PFD today. Both the fit and design are definitely upgrades from the previous model.

The FX is a simple over the head slab design with fully adjustable shoulder straps, a nice broad set of straps to get the fit nice and snug around your middle and a thinner web strap for the waist.
