     I have both a Mstour pfd from Kokatat and the Extrasport Retroglide 
Sabre designed by Nigal Foster. I like them both and they both have their 
pros and cons. The Mstour is very well made, has a 3 panel system so is a 
great fit, but it is bulky and by this I mean it protrudes out forward a 
bit. The retroglide Sabre is much more streamline, hardly know you have it 
on and has lots of various loops and attachments for tow lines and gear. The 
down side here is there is so many loops and things thy can get caught on 
something. My friend has one and when she was rolling a boat that had a pump 
attached to the rear deck it got caught. Very frightening experiance and 
luckily it unhooked after several attempts. The Sabre also is not as well 
made. I  find myself usually wearing the Sabre because of it's comfort. Both 
have lots of pockets. The MsFit does not have pockets and the MsFit Tour has 
lots of pockets. Of the two the Sabre may have a little more cargo space.

        Enjoy the shoping
        Richard
