I am looking for a new PFD with LOTS of pockets on the front, where they are easily accessible. This would be for use in sea kayaking only. Anybody got a favorite or recommendation?

Take a look at the Palm Storm 50. Lots of pockets. About $116 US delivered. Not CG approved however. http://www.getoutcanoeing.co.uk/acatalog/canoeing_sections.asp Jolie Wrote: I am looking for a new PFD with LOTS of pockets on the front, where they are easily accessible.

I also recommended a PFD that (at least when I bought it) wasn't US Coast Guard approved, but has the equivalent Canadian approval. I feel "safer" using this PFD because it has enough pockets for the things that I would want on my body in the event of a capsize on open water, even though "technically" I could probably be cited for it if I was pulled over and they check the label.*** However, in most places I paddle one doesn't actually have to wear a USCG approved PFD, but have one on board. Carrying a cheap approved PFD and wearing the good one make me legal and safer. *** a couple of years ago at a symposium I attended a "signaling devices" session and the question was asked if anyone had ever actually had the PFD examined while on the water. There were about 40 people in the room, and I don't think *anyone* had ever been checked. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

This was formerly called the Palm 5-Pocket, I think. Anyway, I love mine, but where is it available in the States since Stan Chladek lost the franchise?

Except for the West Coast Symposium several years ago when the USCG started checking for "efficient noisemaking devices" and sent people back to the beach if they were lacking. I'm told the quick thinking dealers rapidly bought out every toy and real whistle in the Port Townsend stores.
