Actually the Lola and its specialized seakayaking equivalent, the Lotean, also by Lotus, are becoming very popular around here. For the reasons given by that fellow, the fit made possible by the three piece front (an off-set placed zipper). Another thing to remember the Lotus PFDs all have more flotation in front. So while they are legally a Type III, they behave more like the type (I forget the numbe) that will turn you around if unconscious and float you face up. ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
