I did try the Lola but did not like that you have to slip it over your head (it does have a side zipper, so it is not as hard to do as one without a zipper entirely), which would be difficult if you decided to take off some layers of clothing out on the water. I didn't find it comfortable either. And I thought that the larger pocket, being where it was--well to the side--could interfere with some paddling styles. But I do know guys who like it as well as women who don't. So here are two radically different styles of fine PFDs, so one has a real choice, regardless of sex. ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
