An excellent all-around PFD with some really nice features such as a rescue ring, quick release buckle and plenty of pockets. Maneuverability is great as is visibility with the included reflective tape and (in my case) hunter orange color.
Problems? A little bulky for play use but I trimmed mine down by removing the rescue strap and accessories except for nasty days and on down-river trips. In addition the metal shoulder strap adjustment ends up right under my gunwale when I portage and hurts like heck if I don't position it just so.
Perfect for the peddler who really only wants one vest that will provide adequate flotation, safety and versatility.

An excellent PFD which allows great manoverability. Great quick release rescue strap. I have on occasion felt it could use a bit more flotation for those nasty class V rapids. With that aside perfect!
