Light, great range of motion, handy pockets, back pocket for hydration bladder
Great PFD. I found the Small to be true to size and a better proportion than other "small" sized PFDs that I tried on. I have used it this summer for SUP, kayaking, dragon boating, and outrigger canoeing. Allows for full paddling range of motion and not too hot. The pockets are zipped mesh and flush with the front, so handy for chapstick and other small water resistant items that don't need full coverage. I haven't tried a hydration bladder yet, but I think it would work well.
overall good quality, with chafing
Overall, I like this PFD. I am an intermediate Surfski paddler. The Hi-Viz color is awesome, the pockets are great, and the flotation materials are overall very soft and comfortable. But on the negative side: it fits rather big and the shoulder straps adjust in a way that puts bunched up material close to your skin. Also, on medium length or greater trips (over 4miles) I experience significant chafing and hot spots with the side straps. I have tried loosening up the straps but then the fit is too loose for safety. I am expecting that I will get used to the fit as I use it more.
V3 PFD
I used this vest for a race straight out of the box. It was so comfy and the adjustability made it easy to get the perfect fit fast. I am glad I went with the V3, highly recommend
V3 pfd
The pfd fits great. I like how light it is. The zipper pockets are really nice. The pocket for the watter bladder is a real game changer.
