Since watching the Cold Water Boot Camp video I have pledged to turn over a new leaf. I have always regarded pfd's with a certain amount of disdain. The list of excuses is long and varied. I have come to the realisation that I am an idiot though. So I need to seek out a new pfd that I will actually wear. My problem is that it needs to be less bulky than most with freedom of movement. A couple of pockets to hold a minimal ditch kit would be a super good idea. Most importantly it must be...

Has anyone discovered a PFD suitable for canoeing? I've been using my old EXTRASPORT for years. Simple, no pockets, no mesh, just a front zipper and two side cinch straps; just a bit bulky. I'm ready to retire it if I can find a suitable replacement. Everything I've found has too many "bells and whistles" to snag, tear off, get stuck, etc. What's your favorite?

I set up this poll because I have seen some great answers to the poll questions. The big thing is why you do or don't. I look forward to your answers!
