I think thats called a class1 PFD over here? and I believe its a mandatory
requirement of our Maritime Services Board if you're more than 3km off the
coast. I haven't found any with pockets - does anyone know of a supplier of
such PFD's with pockets? Always wear my PFD no matter how hot it is and no
matter where I'm kayaking - bought the most brightly coloured one I could.
