Fly Vests & Lifejackets
Style & Innovation are the key words for the Snowbee Fly Fishing Vests. Design features never seen on fly vests before – Waterproof Pockets - set them apart from their peers.
Working backwards from the pile of fly boxes, gadgets & gizmos the modern day fly fisher likes to carry, we designed the XS Vests around what needed to be carried, rather than the other way around. Every pocket is there for a specific purpose and not just because there is space available - allowing you to spend more time fishing and less time looking for things!
Our new designs have waterproof linings with heat-taped seams and waterproof zips to all the main pockets, allowing your fly boxes, reels, spools and accessories to remain dry in the worst of weather. The main body material is a lightweight, breathable 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester material, which has high wicking and quick drying properties.
The Snowbee Auto-Inflate Fly Vest incorporates many of the innovative Fly Vest design features from our award winning XS-Pro Fly Vest (see Pages 52-53), but with the added advantage of fleece lined hand-warmer pockets. For the first time this new garment offers both wading & boat anglers a proper, functional fly vest, with built-in lifejacket.
Approved to the latest ISO12402 standards, which supersede the old CE standard, this new model features the very latest UML Mark 5 auto/manual inflation device. This unit is the most reliable on the market & incorporates a simple screw-in cartridge unit, with a new ‘rain-proof’ cover, to prevent accidental inflation.
This EN393 approved safety vest is fitted with a simple screw-in 24g CO2 cylinder, which provides 120N buoyancy.
Note: The actual chest measurements of this vest are 2” larger than those shown in our size chart on Page 100. This is to allow for the fact that any form of inflatable lifejacket MUST be worn OUTSIDE any other garment, to avoid the danger of injury in the event of an activation.

11702 Collar style Lifejacket
Gone is the annoying stand-up collar, which is always in the way when watching the back-cast.

On the front, are 2 useful, bellows design pockets, large enough to hold a small fly box, packs of leaders, floatants/sinkants etc.
This EN396 approved lifejacket uses a 38g CO2 cylinder providing a class leading 190N buoyancy. Enough to hold up a large angler fully dressed in waders & outer clothing

DWR Coating In addition, the material is treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. This chemical treatment forces water to bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric, which enhances the water-resistant properties and keeps the fabric light, by not soaking up water. This super durable application will retain its properties even after repeated use and washings.
