http://www.austinkayak.com/products/814/Stohlquist-Fisherman-High-Back-Life-Jacket-PFD.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping:%20ACK%20PLA&scid=scplp814_2740_1&sc_intid=814_2740_1&gclid=Cj0KEQjw2LjGBRDYm9jj5JSxiJcBEiQAwKWAC1G31B3UmM9ldYP6hy5SEVBdUwMf96bA_6nLxYHyPSEaAtd38P8HAQ It is such a great vest that I wear it even sometimes when I am bank fishing just because the storage is great on it. All of what he is saying is fact. I have had mine for over a year and love it. I just recently bought a Stohlquist Fisherman High Back PFD from Austin Kayak for $99 on sale. I believe it is still available though it has been a few weeks now.
The difference is like night and day from the cheaper generics. First, it has compartments to hold things, clips to hang things on. Second, it fits like a piece of clothes where the straps allow you to customize the fit. Third, and as it turns out a pretty big deal for me, it has a high rise in the back area leaving the portion of your back that comes in contact with the kayak seat . . . clear.
The increase in comfort is large. I feel as though I am not wearing anything. My arms and shoulders are completely open to working a rod and reel.
$60 versus $99? This is one where paying just a bit more gets you multiples of return.

Another vote for the NRS Chinook.Lot's of comfort...lots of pockets. I also use an inflatable like the one in my signature.
