If you need a high-quality PFD for sea kayaking and don't want to drop a lot of dough, the Stohlquist FLOWTer Personal Flotation Device is an excellent choice. The low-profile FLOWTer has a minimal 16lb 8oz flotation that's perfect for paddlers who are not likely to spend much time out of the boat and want good freedom of movement. The large front pocket stores everything from sunscreen to a flip line. The FLOWTer's high waistline won't interfere with your spray skirt, and the cross-chest strap keeps this front-entry PFD from riding up. The Stohlquist FLOWTer provides high-end performance without the high cost.

Bottom Line: Get yourself a Stohlquist FLOWTer Personal Flotation Device, and save money for a better boat.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I'm hesitant to order this because the medium is only available at this time in fireball red (my granddaughter's kayak is hot pink). But my real question is whether it will be comfortable for a well proportioned female.

Nancy, I would suggest sizing up one size because there is plenty of adjustment to get the fit that makes you comfortable. If in doubt you could look at the women's version.

Write your question here...Hi, I am an older, slightly heavy, woman who enjoys recreational and river kayaking. Is it importamt to get a woman's jacket? Does the flowter have a high enough back that will not interfear with the kayak's seat back? I have a Dagger Blackwater 10.5 that i got about 8 years ago.

The back of this PFD is very comfortable and should not interfere with your paddling or kayak seat. I also agree with Jane that there is plenty of strap adjustment to get a custom fit.

Write your answer here...I've had no problems with the Flowter PFD. Very light, and non-restrictive while paddling. It does ride high enough that it does not bother with my seat back (I have an Eddyline Journey). I bought the men's PFD, as that was on sale at the time I was shopping. It has enough straps to adjust the fit at various spots that I don't think you'll have to buy a women's PFD.

This Jacket was just what I was looking for, it fits nice and tight with lots of adjustment. I'm a pretty good size, square shoulders and a 36" waist and it fits me just fine.

Does this jacket have adjustments on the sides? I have somewhat of a wide gurth and need something that can expand.

Stolquist FLOWTer PFD

Good range of adjustments, comfortable when snugged up, did a great job in recent capsize - didn't ride up. Storage pocket pretty limited - good for flat objects.
