There was a review article in a recent article in recent Sea Kayaker
magazine on pfd manufactured for women, 4 in fact.  I was certain that I
had their site on my bookmarks, think I had seen the review on the net,
but can't find it now.  Got the Stohlquist based on this as a gift, it
was for for it's tendency to float you face up.  I had gathered they
liked all of the models for different reasons however including the
Lotus...my mistake was getting a LOtus in black, would've gotten one in
a more visible color as yellow if I wasn't in such a hurry.
