Good to know
- Measure your chest and pick the size range it falls in, allowing for any layers you wear in cold weather.
- If your kayak has a high-back seat, the thin back panel is the main reason to choose this style.
KayakDIY take: The best PFD is the one you forget you’re wearing, and a thin back helps a lot in a framed seat. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
