Re: [Paddlewise] PFD choices

If pockets you seek, then I suggest investigating the new Kokatat ProFit
PFD. It is even more solidly built that the Lotus pfd's, and has many
attachment points for pockets, including the back, and some of the
optional pockets are quite large. The largest one will hold a VHF
inside a waterproof pouch. These vests are new this year, and I have
ordered one for myself from George Gronseth. Incidently, George and I are
building an updated eequipment catalog for the Kayak Academy -- it's still
a little rudimentary, but you can learn more about this PFD from 
http://www.halcyon.com/kayak  and select equipment catalog from the frame
on the left. Also, www.kokatat.com describes the PFD, but does not really
explain the pockets very well.
Cheers,
Kevin
