Tags: Gear Kokatat PFD

I was very excited last year when heard that Kokatat was coming out with a new PFD. The main reason for this is that I knew that Kokatat had been working with the Jackson in dialing in a Jacket that would be good for creeking, river running, and playboating. The pictures I could find at the time showed some smart design being done as well. The knife sheath has been something I have been hoping to see on vest for awhile, and I have to say im a fan of the side entry vest.
