Worth the Money

Rating:*****
Well worth the money, Kokatat designed this product very well. The material is durable and the fit is very comfortable. I never used to wear a life jacket while paddling until I purchased this. I wear it all of the time without question. You don't even know it's on. One thing I would change is the knife pocket inside the vest makes it difficult to get to. Other than that no complaints.

Don't Paddle Without It

Rating:*****
I've paddled rivers, lakes, oceans--you name it--in this PFD, and really love it. It takes a beating (handy when you need a seat on a mussel covered beach) and looks and feels as good as new. It's really comfortable and for the most part it doesn't even feel like you have it on--there's great freedom of movement. And plenty of pockets for all the things you need to keep handy.

Most comfy PFD ever!

Rating:*****
I recently bought this pfd for my kayak. Since I am busty it is difficult to find anything that is comfortable without adding to the "shelf". It fits so well that I forget I have it on. I would definately buy this again.

Great all-around vest.

Rating:****
All the cargo pockets make for easy travel - with space for sunscreen, GPS and a headlamp.

I've only used this model for kayaking, but it works perfectly well for that particular application.

Negative Reviews:

restricts arm movement

Rating:**
This pfd just didn't work for me. I'm a petite female, and according to the kokatat size chart I should take a size small in this pfd. The size small does seem to fit, but the cut of the armhole is just too confining for comfortable arm movement. I also tried on a medium, but that size was way too big for me. It seems like a very nice pfd, but the sizing seems odd to me.
