I rejected several models and bought the MTI because of the two large mesh pockets. By the way, I adjusted it the way Sue Penn (I think it was) mentioned and it worked great. I got a much better fit. (release everything, adjust waistband first, and then tighten sides and shorten the shoulders). Wal-Marts and the like sell a kiddie's lip sunscreen (Chapstick kind) that is attached to a key ring. The ring would rust, so I got rid of it and ran dental floss through the ring; it dangles on the outside of my PFD. Great for quick touchups and the fruity flavor is quite nice. What are the recommended "essential" safety etc. items? I remember Dominic Coscia of Atlantic Coasta Kayaks (Pompano (Beach?), FL) had, among other things I don't remember, one of those mini-cans of tuna -- with a pull tab, of course! Any comments about emergency fishing hook, line, and sinkers? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Jul 09 1999 - 02:15:10 PDT
