The thin ventilated back is the real win here — I barely notice it pressing against my kayak seat after a few hours of casting. Plenty of adjustment in the straps too, so it stays put without riding up.

Wore this for six hours drifting the river and barely noticed it was on, which is the best thing I can say about a PFD. The front pockets actually swallow a couple of fly boxes, and the cut leaves my arms free for casting.

The thin ventilated back is the whole reason I bought this — it actually sits flush against my kayak seat instead of pushing me forward, and I stayed cool paddling all afternoon. Straps adjust easily and it didn't ride up once when I was casting.
