Kokatat MsFit Tour PFD - USCG Approved (For Women)

While most PFDs feel cumbersom to me, I really like how adjustable this PFD is and the ventilation is spot on. I didn't feel the least bit constricted while kayaking so am very pleased with this purchase.

I have used many pfds that don't fit snugly, are too long to wear comfortably in a sea kayak cockpit, and chafe after prolonged paddling. The Kokatat Msfit Tour overcomes all these shorcomings with an attractive, highly visible (reflective patches) configuration with good pocket layout. It was designed to fit women, which it does, but I find the fit excellent for both myself (a tall, not too thin man) and my athletic son. (Ours are not the Tour varient of the Msfit. The Tour is definitely the way to go.) The only downside I find comes with the territory; it can be hot but there are features to keep it fastened but somewhat open. This lastest purchase is for my grown but small daughter. She is also very happy with the fit. When you can buy this at Sierra Trading Post's prices, it is a total win.

I am new to kayaking so I looked to a friend, who is a Master Maine Guide and experienced kayaker, for advice on a PFD. This is the one she recommended for me and I am very happy with it.

Great PFD. Good Quality and Fit. Comfortable and reflective.

This is a PDF that is fully adjustable, so buy the largest size in stock even if you are adult small. Since this PFD is worn outside your layers/dry/ wet suit, spray jacket it is meant to be adjusted down to whatever you are wearing that day. Has plenty of pockets including VHF radio pocket. Plenty of clearance for arm movement. Don't be confused by the name--it fits great on men as well as women.
