DESC: If you need a high-quality PFD for sea kayaking and don't want to drop a lot of dough, the Stohlquist FLOWTer Life Jacket is an excellent choice. The low-profile FLOWTer has a minimal 16lb 8oz flotation that's perfect for paddlers who are not likely to spend much time out of the boat and want good freedom of movement. The large front pocket is an excellent place to store everything from sunscreen to a flip line. The FLOWTer's high waistline won't interfere with your spray skirt, and the cross-chest strap keeps this front-entry PFD from riding up. The Stohlquist FLOWTer provides high-end performance without the high cost.
