The PFD Quest

but does it come with the Manssierre?

It’s The Bro!

If your lady is built different than you
she should try something built to fit the ladies. It’s no fun paddling with smashed ladies…

Two top choices
Seeing a lot of mentions of the Astral V-8 and the Stohlquist Rocker. Probably going out shopping one evening within the week to get fitted. Thanks for all the input!

stockists
LL Bean and REI both stock the V-8 in their brick and board stores. Not sure who has Stohlquist anymore – got mine at Dick’s but last I looked all they had here in my city was MTI and some weird off brands.

Womens PFDs
Most don’t fit the breast sizing and still fit the smaller diameter and shorter rib cage. There are some front zip with small cups on the inside by Stohlquist but the newest designs by Astral with overlapping double front pieces (side entry) seem to be the closest to a custom fit. All still ride up in the back.
