    Comments about Extrasport Riptide PFD:

    Extremely comfortable and stays put because of the Retroglide adjustment system. It has a slim, low profile with lowcut armholes that won't interfere with efficient rowing while floating and fishing rivers as my bulkier fishing PFD does. It has a 3/4 length back that is comfortable with the high back kayak rowing seat in my Water Master fishing raft. There are two full height zippered front pockets that can hold a modest amount of critical safety gear and other foofaraw. It has two hypalon equipment tabs backed with hypalon reinforcement insets over the vest fabric and two D rings; one plastic, one elastic. There are also fleece hand warmer pockets inside the armholes at the top. There is also a hypalon "zipper garage" that prevents the zipper foot fron getting unzipped accidently. It's a very well thought out and implemented design. I really like this vest and am highly pleased.
