I absolutely love this PFD, It makes an amazing guide jacket. It has plenty of storage space, and neat pockets to store rescue gear. My only complaint is that it is bulky upfront, which limits movement while ww kayaking.
By far the nicest PFD I've ever purchased. It fits great for all types of kayaking especially whitewater when you have had some rescue training. I would strongly suggest taking proper training to know how to use this PFD. A tool without training can be dangerous in the wrong hands...
