PFD Preferences? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

From a paddler's perspective, look at Kokatat's Bahia Tour. Highest quality outer shell for durability, good fit, a high back that works well with sit-on-top seats, low profile in front (no bulky pockets to get in the way if you have to climb back on).

I also like the Extrasport Pro Caster. The only thing fishy about it is the name. This is really a rebranded no-nonsense high performance paddling PFD. Excellent fit.

And one more vote for the Stohlquist Fisherman, a little bit of the best of both worlds. When the storage pockets are closed, it's clean and sleek. High quality too.
