The world’s only PFD that offers support for women on the INSIDE of the jacket! With a chassis shape inspired by sports bras and the unique ADJUST-A-BUST fit system, the PFDiva is the only jacket for women that offers support on the INSIDE of the life jacket. ADJUST a WHAT?!? A BUST! Everyone knows that the bust is one of the differences between men and women. And among women, there are many different bust sizes. Since a well-fitted PFD should hug the upper body tight, even small busted women can get “the squash”. If you are a larger girl, it’s “the big crush”. If only the support and lift of a girl’s favorite bra could be built inside a life jacket. That was the challenge which lead the MTI design team to study a variety of “wonder-bras” & sports bras to understand effective shapes and support. Out of the research was born the ADUST-A-BUST system - a set of soft pliable memory foam pads that can be slipped in or out of the chest pockets on the inside of the jacket. The pads not only support the bust, but also work to FILL the space under the bust, evening out the contact between the body and the jacket. Pressure is more evenly distributed, allowing the PFDiva to move WITH you with less of that “crushing” feeling. Most women can feel the subtle but real difference.

FIT TIP #1: You want to position the pads UNDER the bust – just like how your favorite prom dress fit!

FIT TIP #2: Some of the PFDiva’s come with a set of 4 pads in a mesh bag attached to the jacket. We have found that most women only use the larger pads. And in fact, the larger pad is often the preferred pad for larger busted women because there is more memory foam to shape around the bust. So now we make the jacket with the 2 larger pads installed in the pocket. If you find that you WANT to use the thinner pads, just contact us and we will send a set to you free of charge. We are happy to let YOU CHOOSE the right support for YOU – big pads, little pads, or no pads at all!

Additional features: The PFDiva is loaded without being overbearing.Other women-friendly features are the sports bra inspired racer-back shape, a front entry zipper, easy-to-use ZSTRAP side cinches, 2 adjustable shoulders with reflective tape, 2 large cargo pockets, a handy kangaroo pocket for lip balm, reflective tape for visibility, and lash tabs.
