 Good Features Great for summer or warm water kayaking or canoeing. The mesh back is great in my kayak that has some seat padding (doesn't add the unneeded extra). Pockets are large and can hold a good amount of stuff. Pretty comfortable for a PFD. Bad Features Odd side 'pockets' that nothing can really fit in but can get random leaves, dirt, whatever in. With the mesh it can get cold! |
