What kind of PFD do you own? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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.
