Review: Excellent product & quality material. Have not had opportunity to use, however, can tell PFD will be much improved over previous ones owned. ACK customer service and delivery excellent.

Review: Great customer service akc. The Descent PFC was everything I was looking for, fit, finish and excellent quality. When it comes to safety gear buy the best you can. We kayak and white water all during the year all over North America and push our equipment to the limits. You can't go wrong with the Descent by Stohlquist.

Review: Exceptional quality vest. As an option to the Rocker or Ronin the Descent provides greater fit adjustments as well as the D-ring harness which has proven excellent for portaging kayaks.

Review: The Stohlquist Descent Rescue PFD is an excellent vest. It fits comfortably with lots of room for adjustment. Once adjusted to the body, the vest does not ride up on the paddler. It stays in place. Plenty of room in the small front pocket for lots of small items. Also can't say enough about ACK service. Those guys rock!
