THE WINGMAN BY HYDE
Life jackets are a must-have for all water sports, yet many see them as a nuisance rather than an asset. Hyde aims to change that, creating The Wingman ($150), the first and last life jacket you’ll ever want to wear. The Wingman boasts a number of useful features including manual ripcord activation, a hydration sleeve, modular and waistpack storage, zippered pockets and even a headphone channel. Offering a minimal appearance, comfortable fit and the utmost levels of safety, the Wingman is a versatile life jacket suitable for swimmers, surfers, triathletes, fishermen and any others who enjoy life on the water.
