He'd probably appreciate some of the lower profile PFDs and kayak specific
PFDs. Do a web search on Kokatat, Lotus Designs, Extrasport. As you hit
various kayak retailer's sites, you'll see other brands and get an idea
of what's out there.

Thanks for a quick reply. I have seen the Kokatat "Orbit" that looks to
have a relatively narrow profile; but most of the others I've seen online,
even expensive Lotus, Kokatat, Stohlquist, etc.) don't look as though
they're small enough to fit in the cockpit, over the spray skirt. Thanks
for the brand acknowledgements. I'll keep my eyes open.
