Excellent, excellent, excellent! This vest is a dream. I am female and at 5'6" have had problems before with pfds interfering with the upper seat back in the boat. Not this one (size small). The back is nice and compact and allows ample clearance for me to use my full torso, lean back, etc. Just worked full-day kayak support for a Hudson River swim event (lots of turning and twisting) in this baby, and hardly felt I was wearing a pfd. It also has a relatively low neckline, which keeps the vest from ever getting close to my chin, even if worn somewhat loose. Great articulation space for shoulders too. Cool pockets, great feel, great product, as long as you are a relatively flat-chested female paddler. Otherwise, the MsFit might be a better choice

I think I am the first one in Europe with the outfittoure. It is a great PFD, also the people at Kokatat how where willing to sell directly to me. It is the best PFD I ever have seen.

I've been using this jacket for only a few days now, but I really like it. Not only does it fit very well, the features made it worth the $99 it cost. The pockets are roomy enough to hold keys, compass, whistle, and sunscreen. The hidden sunglass sleeve is clever. I can leave the front unzipped and just have the two buckles clipped so I can vent my chest, a nice feature when in the sun for long periods of time, as the vest is warm, as is any pfd. No ride up and it doesn't interfere with my stroke at all.
