Joshua, I like my Kokatat MsFit. It's a year old now, and it fits perfectly, has worn well for last 200 miles or so... several trips, and offers pinch-free paddling. My only hesitation in calling it "perfect" is that I have a hard time turning on my strobe... I think the rear right shoulder equipment tab is a tad low on the PFD... reaching with one hand to screw the strobe on is an exercise for a determined contortionist. I started a thread here about this issue, but the best of the few responses was that one has to modify most all equipment most of the time for the perfect "fit" for the individual. I would guess that's right. Funny... I think that one has to be especially limber to unhatch the day hatch in many boats. Then try to feel around for what you want, pull it out, then reseal the hatch... all while you're on the water! Hmmm... I'm not certain the day hatches are all they're cut out to be. Never a foolproof answer, is there? Good luck!
