The Ultimate Essential PFD
The other PFDs with more bells and whistles look more appealing on paper, but this was my choice after trying on multiple models in a kayak at the store then going for a paddle in my own boat. It is sleek, light weight, has just enough padding against the kayak seat without being too bulky. The pockets don't interfere with moving your arms. This is perfect for day trips in a canoe or kayak, or even trips to the Boundary Waters. If you are doing whitewater or are paddling with a spray skirt and want a lot items available in pockets, there are other models. Personally, I would have less on my PFD and put other items in a dry bag.

Surprising comfort
My wife and I replaced our old Hobie PFD's with the Bahia. What a welcome change. They're far more comfortable and secure. We'll be wearing them for many years to come. Thanks for designing a PFD that's perfect for us.
