Wanted a low profile, breathable PFD for my BWCA trip and this fit the bill. We tipped once (pre trip practice) and This helped me float comftably. I'm a bigger guy so I had the straps let out quite a bit, and the jacket did ride up, but didn't come up. I was able to pull it down and cinch the straps pretty fast. Its a little tough to fish in from a canoe, but not so much that I hated it, just hit the pockets on the front while trying to jig. The little pockets on the one side really serve no purpose for me, would have liked to see to big pockets instead.
Excellent, super comfortable PFD. Different sized pockets for phone, keys, wallet, gps, small tackle box, chapstick, whistle, etc. great attachment points for knife or gps. Fits nicely over my spray skirt with ample room for movement, a jacket, or wetsuit. I’m using this one for paddling the bay and ocean.
Very comfortable and functional. Fits great. 5-10” 182 lbs.
Lots of excellent pockets, very comfortable while sitting in the kayak. I do wish that they had the old rings instead of the flimsy attachments tabs currently on the jacket.
