Previously there was mention of 'PALM' PFD's as being an excellent choice. I have looked at stolquist and the female model (mens were not available so no wise cracks) of the Kokatat. Dave Kruger mentioned a while ago a PFD from a company that manufactures product for SAR. Can someone point me to that web Page for the SAR model especially PALM? Is the PALM PFD that good? There is an opinion by local(MEC-kayak) store personel that if a PFD is Class III and has US-Coast Guard Approved endorsement that Canadian Authorities will look the otherway if it does not have Canadaian DOT approval. Any opinion on this?

When women are forced to buy men's gear or ostensibly "unisex" gear that is designed for men because there is no alternative, that is just taken for granted. See what it's like. You're not going to get wisecracks, it's just as appropriate for you to look at women's gear as for us to be continually forced to make do with things designed for men's height, build, etc. Okay, I've vented, I won't stay mad about the double standard behind that comment!

A bit pricy, retail $180, but worth every penny.Hard to fined things to fill up all those pockets.
