Onyx Outdoors Personal Floatation Device
Best high-back life vest for kayak anglers needing gear storage.
This vest finally solves the awkward conflict between high-backed kayak seats and bulky safety gear. By prioritizing a high-foam back and paddle-specific mobility, it sacrifices a bit of traditional storage bulk for a streamlined fit that won't push you forward while you're trying to cast.
