Size & Fit Guide
The Slim Belt is one size – but before you buy, take a quick measurement to confirm it’ll work for you.
How to Measure
Measure your waist
Wrap a soft tape measure around your natural waist — just above your hip bones. Note the measurement in inches.
Or measure your chest
Place the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it parallel to the floor. Either measurement works.
Check your fit
If your measurement falls between 30" and 56", the Slim Belt will fit you. The buckle adjusts in seconds.
Fits most adults comfortably
The adjustable buckle system accommodates sizes 30"–56". If you're between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit over a wetsuit or thick clothing.
How It Works
Strap
Bring belt around waist, pack facing front, buckle and tighten.
Pull
Pull on the red tab to inflate.
Float
You can rearm your belt with a CO2 cartridge to reuse.

I love my Bombora Slim Belt.
It’s easy to grab and go, and perfect for family kayaking days. As a parent, it’s so nice to be on the water without a bulky vest.

I love my Bombora belt pack - never knew there was a flotation device option this small and sleek.
Use it all the time during the summers when I'm out on the lake paddleboarding!
Saw this item on Chronicle and we were very intrigued, and my husband has a kayak
Compare Our Belts
Not sure which is right for you? Here’s a clear side-by-side breakdown.
Type V PFD
Both the Slim Belt and Super Belt are US Coast Guard Approved Type V PFDs. A Type V is a special use device — it must be worn to count as your legal PFD. When activated, both provide enough buoyancy to keep you afloat.
What's the key difference?
- Slim Belt inflates into a compact flotation bag — great for calm water and maximum comfort.
- Super Belt inflates into a full upper-body jacket — more buoyancy for open water and rougher conditions.
