Poll: Favorite PFD Brand?

I had to reset the poll, as there was a bug that allowed casting multiple votes, and it looked a lot like some people were (ab)using it :)

Havn't Patagonia stopped making PFD's?

I voted Astral... :) Super happy with mine! Although I've also had great service life out of my two Palms. One of which I use exclusively in the surf on a weekly basis, throughout the year.

Go Extrasport, with a commanding 1.23% of the vote!:lol:

I think that if the Extrasports had a bit better shoulder padding on the Pro Creeker and were as readily available as the Green Jackets in the US, they would give good competition. Astral still has the tow tether pockets, spectra belay loop, and the throw bag spot though.

My Stohlquist X-Tract is amazing! Easy to swim in the water and still lots of floatation! And super comfy.
Easy and fast to adjust all features.

Love it!

My Stohlquist X-Tract is my choice as well, no ride up, nice and comfy couldn't be happier with it. Once its on I nearly forget im wearing it ( in a good way)

For such a strong PDF, it blew me away Extrasport didn't get more votes. It fits perfectly without riding up.

Stohlquist Brick no ride up, ultra adjustable, and I do forget that I have it on from time to time.

Lot's of practice swimming with it Tom? ;) Sorry, couldn't help myself... hehehe

28.4 % of the votes have gone to Astral, next best is Kokatat with 14.46% and Palm sitting in third with 13.23% of the votes cast so far (567). Let's see how it progresses... Quite interesting.

PeakUk River Guide vest.
Comfy, hardwearing and not to many loose bits and pieces. Also as a guide/instructor the throwbag attachment works great. the chest harness is nice and high on the pfd and works much better than harness on my previous pfd's (xtreme, palm, goya)
