...I run this. I hate being hot and feeling restricted. This vest is super comfortable and the pockets are really handy for a mini-ditch kit...These are on sale now in Cabelas Bargain cave. I doubt you'll be disappointed ;)   (You need to Login or Register

Hi, ST.  I actually bought this vest based on a recommendation I think you provided last year.  It is quite comfortable and I like the velcro pockets for a small ditch kit.  Still, on most paddling days, I don't wear it.  Now, it is right behind my seat should anything go awry.  When the wind and waves are up, I'll put it on.  It is indeed a good, inexpensive, lightweight pfd for canoe trips.
