Ordered then got an email stating this item is not in stock. Called AKC and was told site issue, item was in stock and it promptly shipped. Find the PFD comfortable and fits well. I’m 6’1” tall and weigh 255 lbs, ordered the 2XL and have plenty of strap to cinch down or let out depending on summer or winter. More layering and jacket in colder months and t-shirts in summer. Find the front padding a little bulky and pocket storage convenient and sufficient for a bag of plastics, hooks, weights, cell phone and a charging pack. Easy on/off, zipper falls into place easily but buckle below zipper can be a bit cumbersome but not a deal breaker. Doesn’t ride up or move around once adjusted to fit and works well with vantage seat on my Hobie. Do wish the attachment tabs had larger holes. Resolved it with a small hole punch to bore out the holes a little. Good purchase and it’s more comfortable than my inflatable PFD which I never thought I would say, just bulkier.

I just upgraded my PFD after having an incident where I fell off my kayak without my pfd on, I never wore it because it was a cheap $50 academy brand one it was so uncomfortable. I upgraded to the Chinook after reviews and thorough searching. I love this PFD its so comfortable its lightweight and super breathable. It also allows me to have everything I need for a fishing trip (pliers,whistle,phone,scissors) attached to me at many different points. I love it.

Pockets are not waterproof entirely so you want to have valuable in a dry bag or box of some sort. The pockets will be slightly water resistant thanks to the material.
