PFD choice??

[Josh]

I got rid of the Chinook. To bulky and too much crap for the line to wrap around.

Since I’m a svelte 230 pounds, I opted for the NRS Ninja so it doesn’t hinder my fluid and deadly movements. Much like Neo, I need freedom of movement, especially when reaching for the cooler.

I suspect that part of the reason that the Chinook is bulky up front is so that the back can be minimal, allowing it to not interfere with kayak/raft/pontoon seats. If that's not an issue for your use case, then that opens up the PFD options a bit more.
