Anyone familiar with the MTI PFD''s? They have a few fishing PfD's that look good. I have been searching for some NRS Chinook in a color other than orange and can't find one. I will keep looking though. The MTI's look nice though...

picked up an nrs chinook from oex during the black friday sale, and its great. only comes in 2 colors the hi-vis orange and the green.

The most popular PFD we do for bigger guys is the Chinook. In fact its the most popular period,

The XXL Chinnok has a chest of up to 50"

Also the Fisherman from Stohlquist in the universal Plus size will extend to a chest of 54". This PFD is a little better design as the shoulders are neoprene making the pfd more comfortable.

We are stocking the new MTI F-Spec's as well. They are great looking PFD's but the largest chest size we have in stock is 46" on the lg/xl size (not sure if they have a larger size, but we dont have them in stock).

If you have any questions or want to order a PFD feel free to give me a call at the shop 866-587-2990. Ill even give you 10% off the PFD.
