Comments about Stohlquist DRIFTer PFD:

This PFD is well made, but the pockets seemed both bulky and tight. I wasn't quite sure why I would need a hand warmer pocket unless I was paddling in very cold weather. I think gloves would suffice, and if I wanted to put my hands in my pockets I would have to stop paddling. The pockets have a soft fabric lining instead of nylon. Whether they would accumulate dirt or stay wet would have to be tested. It was easy to adjust and fit well except for the bulk of the pockets. I really wanted to like this PFD, but in the end I didn't even bother trying in while sitting in a kayak in the store.

Comments about Stohlquist DRIFTer PFD:

This was a replacement for a Stohlquist fishing PFD. I found the first one to be rather bulky and the large fold down pockets although in theory were a good idea they just didn't pan out for me. The drifter however is a dream. I like the zip up and bottom buckle together. The straps extend out easily to don it. There is a knife holder and nice pockets that you can warm your hands in. I paddle a Native 14.5 which is a hybrid kayak so I can't really speak for a true sit in, but it seems that the Drifter is not bulky enough to hinder any activity.
