My educated guess is that you have to have a clean shot at the tow rig's quick
release buckle, and the only logical place (and the specified space) is above
the small pocket.  Otherwise, you'd be squeezing whatever is in the pocket,
and the release buckle would be sticking way proud of the surface of the vest.

The color is a very important issue, and, personally, the retro-tape is a lot
more than a nice-to-have with anyone even thinking about paddling toward or
into evening.  Hey, Clyde, I'll talk Ralph into splitting the difference with
me on your cost delta between the Rio Grande and the Strait Jacket if it means
that we'll keep you around to write more trip reports about PFDs and trucks
and ramps and keys!
