I've used this PFD for little over a year now in sea kayaking and fitness kayaking. Apart from the jamming clip-in points, I'm really satisfied.

Pros / The Good
Really comfortable, good adjustments and plenty of room in pockets. Doesn't ride up when swimming.
Cons / The Bad
The clip-in points inside the pockets jam the zipper. Had to cut them off.
