Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge - View Single Post - What's the Hot ticket on these New Slim PFD's

I have an Osprey PFD but it feels bulky at times.

Anyone using one of those new slim, auto/manual inflator models that can make a recommendation on its performance.

Are they as buoyant as the traditional units? or mainly for show.

I haven't taken a look at them yet, and wonder if it accidentally caught a hook without me knowing......What would happen if I needed to really use it.
