I have owned two extra sport's pfds.
The second did not last as long as the first and I suspect inferior material
being used. You may wish to check out www.northwater.com Lindsay Merchant,
(a paddler and the owner) will make you a superior custom pfd for a
comparable price. Tell him I sent you.

Extrasport has a hifloat pfd that's short -- the B22. Does anyone have
any
experience with it? Just wondering about comfort? bulk? experience
getting
out of holes? impact on rolling?

I don't want Extrasport's hifloat long vest, but the short version got my
attention.

I paddle OC1 ... and we're doing a solo openboat trip down the Grand
Canyon
this summer. As good as my roll is, I'm expecting my share of big water
swims

I was considering moving up from my Stohlquist wedge to the higher
floatation for the trip. I'm female and about 155lbs.

Thanks!
