Stella A.★★★★★
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.
Scarlett★★★★★
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.
Eva★★★★★
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.
