Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | I've got an Astral Norge its a kayaking pfd. It uses a different kind of filling. kapok (sp) it's really soft. I don't know if it hold you face up but all the boyancy is really high, and it sits really close to the body. It's like wearing a big hug all day. Clears the hook on a harness well. I would think the less complicated the better.
I'm boatless.

Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | I bought it 3 years ago. I don't know. New techniques? It's really comfortable. Doesn't have a funky odor, or weigh more than it should, or when it was new. Hopefully they fixed the issue.

Posts: 69 West Michigan | I though kapok was banned about 10 years ago by the CG, something about getting waterlogged easily. I guess I should check on these things, huh. It wasn't banned, but the kapok should be sealed in some way because kapok has the possibility of becoming waterlogged. | | |
