This has been a great PFD for me lo these three seasons. I really like this jacket for a few reasons.
- the side zip puts the buoyancy in front so it is easier to float on your back
- The front pocket is huge. Since I am carrying rescue stuff all the time, it is great to have the easy-access storage
- Great fit. This PFD just seems to fit my body perfectly.
I guide and use my equipment hard. This PFD has plenty of buoyancy and cargo space for more or less all of my needs. The only thing I really wish it had is a set of loops to thread a quick-release through for a tow strap and perhaps a hydration reservoir pocket. Other than those two nitpicky design suggestions, I really like this piece of equipment.
