I have a Serratus PFD that I really like and it has lots of pockets.  Since
Serratus is a Candian company it only has the Canadian equivalent of
the coast guard approval and I have often wondered if the number of pockets
has anything to do with the lack of U.S. Coast Guard approval.  It also has
a bunch of loops down the back and an optional pocket that can be attached.
Instead, I have a Gaia water pack that attaches easily with a coupld of velcro
straps through the loops.
