It is a fairly flat pocket that could hold a decent amount of extra items. You could also just use a fanny pack to attach to the PFD or attach a fanny pack to you. ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .

How do you reach things in such a pocket? I was thinking about making one out of yellow nylon for the back of my new purple Lola (they didn't have yellow in stock), but I'm dubious about access. (Oh- along with the Lola, I'm now the proud owner of a River Shorty knife. As usual, thanks for all that good discussion, you guys! I hadn't bought a knife since the penis-envy days of my teens.) e Elaine Harmon - eilidh_at_dc.seflin.org - eharmon_at_cs.miami.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

The Pocket that Lotus Design has, and I can't remember its exact name, has webbing straps in all four corners. It will fit the Lola. At the end of the straps is complex looking Nexus (or similar plastic) hardware that attaches to the PFD's side adjustment webbing straps. The hardward is such that the set of connections on one side of the bag snaps open like any fastex snap buckle. That allows the whole pocket to swing around to your side were you can access the contents. You can make it swing either to your left side or right side depending on which you favor. If you are particularly flexible you could reach behind you and open the pocket which consists of a flap closed by another snap buckle. The latter would favor taking something fairly large out (big parachute flares for example) but not smaller items as it is hard to rummage for such loose items behind your back. > (Oh- along with the Lola, > I'm now the proud owner of a River Shorty knife.

On behalf of the entire male paddling population, I hope you are over that teenage insecurity. ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
