Pfd?

[Backdoc]

I have a Cabelas guide PFD that is inflatable by CO2 cartridge. I pretty much have come to hate it. What do you guys like? I am not so worried about price if it is really comfortable. The one I have rubs the back of my neck. Thanks.

Are you looking to get a traditional foam PFD, or a new CO2?

For traditional, I've been using a Stohlquist for many years. They offer a big selection, to include some "fishing" vests.

I've been using a Stohlquist for the past 6-months on my Hobie PA-14. I really like it. I don't know I have it on when kayak fishing.
Comfort is the key to a PFD.

What Plastic Boat said. I love mine!

Be sure to get the bright orange instead of the green. Been seen is critical on the water!

Love my Chinook, had it for three years. Zippers and pockets are still in great condition

I have the Kokatat Bahia Tour. I like it because it's comfortable and I don't mind wearing it. The pockets are really nice and it is extremely adjustable. I also like that there is a waist clip so it can still be secured to you without having to zipper it which is nice in warm weather. They also have a few that have hydration packs like a camelbak.

Love my NRS C-Vest, its like the Chinook, but with a pocket for your radio. Really comfortable.

Thanks again, I will be getting a new one soon. I will be looking at the ones mentioned above. I was hoping to stay with a Co2 vest but I am open to anything that is comfortable and not super hot to wear. Thanks again.

Another vote for the Bahia tour

NRS chinook. It's lightweight, has lots of pockets, and has a high back. I forget I'm wearing it sometimes.

It was warm today, with very little breeze where we were. I wore my PFD all day, but left the zipper open.

Which one do you have? Is it the Fisherman?
I was wondering how well those "work surface" pockets do.
