What kind of PFD do you own?

Kokatat Bahia here, and wouldn't trade it for anything.

+1 or the unisex misfit is a good fit.

NRS Chinook, has the right combination of pockets and attachment points for vhf radio, go pro remote and almost any accessory you need to have on your person without too much bulk. Has the rear section with no pad at the lower 1/2, so it doesn't get in the way of your back against the seat back. I found it to fit better than the others. Try them out before you buy one, everyone has different body shape.

Where do you clip your VHF on your Chinook? I wear the same PFD and my VHF is always getting knocked off the vest.

I use the same 4 way point attachment on the left side. I added a small para cord legth to be a back up safety for the VHF since I also attach a small knife for multi use such as cutting lines in case of getting tangled in leashes, etc if kayak rolls in surf, etc.

Thanks, Mark. I just realized that NRS Chinook is a different generation than yours. I think mine is a little older; Has the plastic 4-way, but attached with hook & loop instead of permanently affixed.

Kokatat Bahia here... it's been a great PFD though my only complaint is the pocket doesn't fit my Standard Horizon HX851... it's too small.

If and when I upgrade, I may try the new Kokatat Predator here...

The pros about Kokatat is they have 3 straps on each side at the torso to adjust the fit... many other mfgrs only have two. I don't want my PFD sliding up over my head if I take a swim, the three adjustment points on each side helps this from happening. Kokatat makes a great product.
