I
just picked 2 of these up

…they are less expensive and alotta kayak fishermen prefer them to the one above…they say the one above is too bulky and not cool in the summer…the osprey is light cool and packs a ton of gear…just my 2 cents…and if your big kfs has the xxl on sale


Bought my wife a similar one. It has
a MinKota label on it but is made by the same company. An Osprey with less expensive nylon for less than half the price seemed like a good deal. The only thing I don’t like about it is the mesh. Things can get caught in mesh. Personnally, I preer my manually inflatable, but will use here vest if paddling rivers.

The Stohlquist Fisherman PFD is the best on the market. It’s a lot less bulky than the Osprey and it’s not as hot. I’ve used both and the Stohlquist PFD wins hands down.
