Race pfd
I love this pfd. The huge pocket in the front is great for my sunscreen and my phone. The pouch in the back is a real game changer. It's light weight and it's very visible. I was able to attach my watch to it and a small diving knife. The water platter hose holder is a great help as well. It's a great piece of equipment.
