PFD very bright and visible

I love my C-Vest, 2 pockets per side! Phone, sunglasses, bug net and knife and an empty pocket!

I’m getting back to the Cvest for the same reason. I envision if I have my valuables on me and cap-size, I know they didn’t just fall from the boat into the lake but are with me. that way i also have to keep track of fewer items when I can put it all in the vest and walk to the water.

I would have bought it, but the L-size seems sold out unless I want to pay way above MSRP.

This is my favorite. I’ve had mine for 6 years and I’m still very satisfied.
It’s stood the test of time well.
The colors have been specifically chosen as the most visible on the water.
They also have fluorescent orange as an option.

Thanks. I just had ordered the NRS. but will keep the Vaikobi bookmarked.

As willowleaf mentioned, a flashing light is considered a distress signal on inland waters and can be confused with a navigational marker in coastal waters.

Although a white light that can be shown to avoid a collision, readily available and not necessarily on, is all that is required for a manually propelled boat like a kayak, I never paddle at night without a steady white light on my stern and a PFD light on my shoulder.

Several years ago my wife and I were doing a moonlight paddle with no lights on when we were nearly run down be a dinghy running illegally with an electric outboard and no lights.

Astral Ringo. It’s priced to match but has excellent pockets, weight, size, fit, finish and comfort. The off blue is actually the highest contrast color because when the sun is low in the sky it becomes more visible than say red or yellow.
